I really should have gone to bed some time ago but simply couldn't due to this event. We have obviously gotten used to following events like this in real time without any problems. Hopefully everything is OK.

Finally, new tweets at Akatsuki_JAXA (link)
QUOTE Minutes from the current operation room [13:10] Sagamihara, we are continuing to work towards resuming communication with the Akatsuki. QUOTE Akatsuki-kun luck Yeah! Raised to cheer her Jinxi!

Emily posted a helpful chart showing the timeline of events after the orbit insertion burn

From cosmos4u:
QUOTE Apparently http://twitpic.com/3dm5ci shows someone from @Akatsuki_JAXA management explaining the com problem, recovery options to the press. Edit: From the same source: QUOTE Trouble with @Akatsuki_JAXA? "Interruption after the communication was not recovered," said http://is.gd/ijzi7 25 min ago (via @MuiMuiZ).

New Tweet from @Akatsuki_JAXA: [More] Sagamihara operation room about 28 minutes at 10 December 07, 2010 (Japan time), and received a wave from the Akatsuki. Currently, we went to check the state of the satellite.

My wife's translation of the most recent tweet from Akatsuki_JAXA (10 min ago as I write this):
'As of 7 Dec 2010 1028 JST received signal from Akatsuki. We are attempting to verify its position (attitude?)." She said it 'came from Mission Control'. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Spaceflight Now is reporting the "mission's fate uncertain."
The good news: "Engineers confirmed ignition of the thruster before Akatsuki passed behind Venus"  "Controllers finally received signals from the spacecraft at 0128 GMT Tuesday (8:28 p.m. EST), or at 10:28 a.m. Japanese time." I hope to hear that Akatsuki is safely in Venusian orbit tomorrow morning. Have a good night all. |

Indeed, same from cosmos4u.
QUOTE According to http://is.gd/ijSEG the ignition of #Akatsuki's engine was confirmed before (planned) LOS, but the orbit is still a mystery. QUOTE This tweet by @ShinyaMatsuura just said it all: "Q: Are you currently entered into orbit around Venus? A: at present still unknown." G'nite!

Not hearing good news
 --Akatsuki ending press conference. No announcement of the meeting until 22:00 and there are reports point out trouble, and it brought back to confirm. It is going to be a long war. --Akatsuki is unknown or has failed. Gain antenna was in use until now. -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html

PB, do you have the link to the original Japanese versions of those tweets?
