Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter 'AKATSUKI' (PLANET-C) was successfully launched at 06:58:22JST on May 21, by H-IIA F17. After the separation from H-IIA, the telemetry from AKATSUKI was normally detected by DSN Goldstone station (10:00JST) and the solar cell paddles' expansion was confirmed. AKATSUKI was put into the 3-axis stabilized mode in the initial operation from Uchinoura station and the critical operation was finished at 20:00JST on the same day.
AKATSUKI will arrive at Venus on Dec 7, 2010. From the orbit around Venus, it will take pictures of the distribution of clouds and minor gas components at different wavelength by 4 cameras. These data will be analyzed to study the meteorology on Venus, especially the mechanism of the super-rotaion of Venusian atmosphere which is still the top mystery of the Venus science. Simultaneous observation with ESA's Venus Express is highly expected to study the Venusian atmosphere.
We will present the development of those remote sensing equipments in our talk. |
