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.

I see on the MASCOT pictures that one side is not focused..somewhat blurry ...is there any reason for this ?
My guess is, that it is not dejustet but if you land upright you have the nearer objects better in focus than the more far away and you not need a focusable lens assembly which adds some risk to the lander. Or is it really out of focus ? Rob |
