according to this abstract, a possible target for the PROCYON miniprobe would be 1999 JV6, a quasi-satellite of Earth in a 1-year orbit. flyby would be in March 2016.

PROCYON will be flying a lightweight Lyman-alpha camera for imaging the Earth's geocorona at increasing distances.

My translation of PROCYON ppt file is now complete, but I have a problem.
It is at 4.8 MB, and I tried to divide it into parts so that I can upload them as attachments. One such was found to be still at 4.1 MB, containing only 3 pages. I will study sharing procedure, but it will take time, my apologies. I am not good at IT at all. P |

This is just in, from a lunch time NHK TV news here.
Hayabusa 2 will be launched on 30 November from Tanegashima space centre. So, that will be an H2-A rather than the Epsilon, meaning a piggy-back, I think. P |

My curiosity has vapourised thanks to a recent short newspaper article in the Yomiuri.
There was a similar article recently, which said that the H2A launcher will have a special coating on its fuel tank and will rotate during its long flight in order to keep fuel loss to a minimum. I was curious, "long?" , because usual 15 minutes did not seem too long to me, anyway, but I did not bother to find out. This Yomiuri article clarified it for me, as follows. "On 20 October, MHI revealed to the press the H2A 26 launcher, which will be launched on 30 November with Hayabusa 2 on board. It is a 2 stage rocket and its 1st stage is 37m long with 4m diamter and 2nd stage 11m long. This time, it will take as long as 2 hours before spacecraft seperation in order to reach its very distant target. In order to keep fuel loss to a minimum as the liquid hydrogen vapourises inside the tank its 2nd stage fuel tank has been coated white." I have been used to the launch of earth bound satellites. This article did not mention rotation, though. P |
