Hayabusa 2 has started its descent towards Ryugu for Minerva deployment. Real time navigation images are posted here. One new image every half hour or so.

I found these two twiter accounts which commented in realtime the press conference:
https://twitter.com/moffmiyazaki https://twitter.com/ShinyaMatsuura And we can try looking for "はやぶさ 2" in Google. While we wait, here they are an animation of MINERVA-II separation and an estimation of landing site location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FrRC6e8ZMo A 18cm-wide object would result 2-pixel wide in an ONC-W1 taken from 80m away and 1-pizle wide in ONC-T from 20 km away, so no chance of seeing rovers from "orbit", but maybe some chances to see them in post-deployement ONC-W1 images. http://win98.altervista.org/telescopio.html (0.00018 km = 18cm) |
