The Japanese Hayabusa 2 twitter account reports that the spacecraft has begun descending toward Ryugu in preparation to deploy the MASCOT lander. Nothing on the English twitter as of the time of this post.

My recording of the delivery operations based on JAXA data (altitude in meters):
CODE Alt Generated at (GMT) Received At (GMT)) 101 2018-10-03 01:47:38 2018-10-03 02:05:47 47 2018-10-03 01:58:18 2018-10-03 02:16:27 - Mimimum altitude for 4 minutes 134 2018-10-03 02:02:02 2018-10-03 02:20:10 - Hayabusa 2 rises again. Full recording of descent: https://programmi.000webhostapp.com/hayabus...r/ONC_A-log.txt There are multiple lines for same data, but if you set up a "sparse data" chart in Excel, multiple lines will result is same point be drawn at same coordinate, so you'll just see one point. Press conference video (no links to press release yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3WNAg5Zfvs It looks like national broadcasting company NHK created a simulated realtime video based on JAXA data during descent, but it was live, and I can't find the recording now: http://www.nhk.or.jp/special/space/#/english |
