May have heard some clapping. (again, with the way the feed is, it's really hard to make things out)

![]() Oh, well. My wife's out shopping anyhow...hopefully she'll be home soon for some translation duty... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

They showed a visually impressive demonstration of a cup being crushed in a pressure chamber. The cup had solar arrays marked on it.
May have heard some clapping, too. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Communications currently interrupted with the spacecraft since its antenna is facing away from Earth.
We shouldn't officially get an update on Akatsuki's current orbital position till 4 AM, PST (7 AM, EST) ![]() http://twitter.com/Akatsuki_JAXA -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html

A significant amount of clapping... probably because the feed just ended.
Looks like it was just applauding the end of the show. Edit: Though feed from the control room remains. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

My wife's translation of the sign: "Akatsuki presents key word!"
Interpretation: She chirped an "I'm okay" signal? ![]() -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

My sincerest thanks for your wife's translations.
I like your interpretation, I hope it's true. =) -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

She said "you're welcome".
![]() The language barrier just makes the uncertainty worse, of course, but I don't think that they would have shown that sign unless things were not nearly as black as they seemed awhile back. We don't know if everything is nominal--based on what you wrote, doesn't seem like it--but it looks like Akatsuki is still in the game. Now to wait some more to see if she made orbit, I guess... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
