Support messages welcomed for AKATSUKI’s second bid to be injected into Venus’ orbit on December 7

The Venus Climate Orbiter “AKATSUKI” will be maneuvered again for the second time to try to be injected into the Venus orbit on December 7, 2015. The orbit of the AKATSUKI has been controlled in preparation for meeting Venus this winter. Since December 2010, the orbiter has passed the perihelion nine times. The chance this time will be the last opportunity.
JAXA is welcoming support messages from you to the AKATSUKI itself, project personnel, and the mission. Your support is very much appreciated!
