I thought it was time to start a separate thread on this mission, launching soon
some good medium-resolution images of the spacecraft are available on JAXA digital archives http://jda.jaxa.jp/jda/p3_e.php?time=N&...mp;mission=4066 |

It will be interesting to compare this full-size Akatsuki image (1024 x1024) with images taken by Mariner 10 and Pioneer Venus Orbiter.

The recovery of Akatsuki is an amazing success story. It looks like we're going to get some great science, and the initial images are already intriguing.
