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 |

Some unhappy news
http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/en/topics/000902.html Although the images have been coming in pretty well over the last year, and some good Radio Occultation experiments have been done, the electronics unit that drives the IR1 and IR2 cameras suffered an anomaly in December, so for now those two cameras have not been returning data. Recovery efforts continue. The ultraviolet, thermal IR and lightning/airglow cameras are unaffected and continue to operate. Ralph |
