If there's an upside to Akatsuki's unfortunate predicament, it's that at least it (and the thousands of names onboard) won't meet a fiery fate in Venus' atmosphere. Inevitable fiery fate by the Sun? Yes. Venus? No. (Assuming, of course, Akatsuki is unable to perform an orbit injection maneuver during the December 2016/January 2017 opportunity as well.)

For the time being, Akatsuki and IKAROS will obviously be in heliocentric orbit together. smile.gif
