QUOTE (Cosmic Penguin @ Dec 26 2014, 12:22 AM)  Here it is in English: http://global.jaxa.jp/press/2014/12/20141218_akatsuki.html Thanks, Paolo What follows is the JAXA announcement translated. On the result of orbit correction operation of Akatsuki We at JAXA conducted an orbit correction operation at the end of July for the planned re-insertion of the orbiter Akatsuki on 7 December 2015. From the analysis of the telemetry data obtained by 2 August we came to the conclusion as on 17:30 4 August (JST) that the planned correction had been successfully achieved. We send our thanks to all those concerend who provided support for this operation. P |

Great news!
now all JAXA has to do is get the darned thing into some kindov orbit this may yet be Hayabusa-like great escape  P |

JAXA has some videos on youtube showing the trajectory of Akatsuki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INtz0VSKTrU and the longer development until mid January https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-NHNx4AyeY
They also plan a livestream for a press conference on Dec 9th, but I guess without any subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3PFCSi7qPw |

Emily has an excellent blog post up for the insertion timeline. First (and hopefully only) thruster firing scheduled for 6 Dec/2351 UTC, planned duration approx. 20 min.
-------------------- 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.

Here's a great real-time simulation of the event.

How is this attempt going? - I see we're 20 minutes from closest approach.

Ah, now I see in the real-time simulation that we're T-400 seconds from the RCS thruster firing. Crossing fingers or whatever the Japanese equivalent is!

I am now just about settled in Kota Kinabalu and if re-insertion is OK I will translate this rather lengthy document for posterity. If it fails I still might. At the time of sending this I cannot find any news about the fate of Akatsuki. Pandaneko |

Thrusting is progressing acc. to the real-time simulation, I wonder if it is in reality too?

Burn complete acc. to time-line. Still no confirmation of a succesful burn. The data should come down soon though.
