AKATSUKI
The Japanese space agency, JAXA, is getting ready to launch another ambitious mission: AKATSUKI, the Venus Climate Explorer. The video from JAXA gives a nice overview.
Another kind of fun thing JAXA is doing is inviting people to put their names and a very short message aboard the spacecraft. I’m going how about you? Check out the JAXA Message Campaign to learn more.
