JAXA wants to continue with Hayabusa 2. However there is/was a huge fight about the budget. Main problem was the budget for the launch vehicle. 2 months ago or so there was a report which said, that JAXA had to find another launch vehicle or the project gets cancelled. Now the Italian space agency played saviour and overed the VEGA. So finally we might see another Hayabusa in 2011.

From the images released today, it looks like a more spherical version of Itokawa, but still a remarkable rubble pile with only a few, subdued craters

I am still mildly desperate for clarification about the wide angle camera window on Haya2 web page.
So, I rang JAXA publicity department this morning. I will be getting their reply on my mobile. Apparently, the girl who picked up my call will have to sk other people for an answer. She was OK, though, so, I think I will receive a call from JAXA, sooner or later. P |

P Are you Japanese native speaker? I thought the doubt about the content and meaning of the "control panel" was caused by difficulties in automated translation from Japanese to English. |

Are you Japanese native speaker? I thought the doubt about the content and meaning of the "control panel" was caused by difficulties in automated translation from Japanese to English. Yes, I am. I still have not received an answer from JAXA. My question to them this morning was about the fixed caption with the wide angle camera window. Until yesterday I had been distracted by the pop-up caption, but I realised that the fixed caption is also strange. It is the character string right below ONC-W1. It reads, word to word, "navigation abbreviated schematic". I explained to the publicity girl that lay people like me would expect to see camara captured image on this window, not man-made something. She very well understood what I was yapping about. I think I will ring them next Monday again. P |
