TCM08 confirmed but different from planned:
Our 8th Trajectory Control Manoeuvre (TMC08) for optical navigation was made on June 24, 2018 from ~09:30-09:40 JST. Trusters gave a velocity change of ~0.2cm/3 (+y), 2cm/s (+z). The distance to Ryugu from Hayabusa2 was 38km & the relative speed after TCM08 was ~0.08 m/s (8 cm/s)
