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.

It will be interesting to compare this full-size Akatsuki image (1024 x1024) with images taken by Mariner 10 and Pioneer Venus Orbiter. And Venus Express (and even Galileo and Messenger) images. These images look very promising. JAXA seems to be remarkably resourceful when their spacecraft have problems (Hayabusa is the ultimate example of this). Congratulations to JAXA! |
