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 |

What follows is the contents of page 5 minus the graphics translation. I will do that seperately
as it is a little complicated. Page-5 (Excluding graphics portions in the middle) Outline of Venus orbiter Akatsuki Objective Contribute towards the establishment of planetary atmospherics studies which is the key to understanding climatic changes on earth by clarifying the mechanisms of Venetian atmospheric dynamics and super rotation. Atmospheric phenomena on Venus are hidden by thick cloud banks and we aim to use our latest infra red instruments to make observations with a view to understandg earth climatology. * Satellite external appearance * (Note: Broken orbit insertion engine on the left of picture) 3-D data from lightening sensor and multi wave lenghts cameras in infra red and unltra violet regions * Ellucidating Venetian atmospherics * ・ Establishing planetary climatology ・ Understanding of earth environmental changes * Design specifications (at launch time) * ・Mass: 480kg ・Launch date: 21 May 2010 ・Orbit: Venetian circular Height: 300km to 80,000km ・Time to Venus: Approx. 6 months ・Mission period: Approx. 2 years upon arrival * Development Schedule * 2002-2003 Basics studies 2004-2006 Satellite testing 2007-2009 Satellite construction 2009 Operational confirmation 2010 Launch P |
