We've done our 1st Trajectory Correction Manoeuvre (TCM01) on June 8 ~12:30-13:40 JST. Using thrusters, Hayabusa2 was accelerated by ~24cm/s (-x), 5cm/s (-y), 14cm/s (z). The distance from the spacecraft to the asteroid was ~1900km & the relative speed after TCM01 was ~2.35m/s.[/font][/size]
DCAM 3Isolated cameraIt is a camera separated from the main unit. DCAM was first adopted in solar sail experiment machine "Ikaros". Hayabusa 2 uses a collision device, impactor to expose samples of deep underground asteroids, but it is a camera that shoots the situation. Two of digital cameras and analog cameras are installed. We shoot so that both analog cameras that can acquire continuous images with low resolution and digital cameras that can intermittently acquire high resolution images will compensate each other.
We're now less than 1000km from Ryugu! The asteroid is so close, we've had to change our website header so you can see the approach trajectory: the horizontal scale is now 10 x larger than the vertical scale.
