[Capsule Separation Operation] It’s finally time for the capsule separation. A briefing was held from 10:00 JST (12/5), confirming current status & today’s operations. We began with words from PM Tsuda, “In the culmination of the mission, let’s make calm judgements & do our best” [Capsule Separation Operation] At the start of the operation, the condition of the spacecraft, including the re-entry capsule, is normal. There are also no issues with the ground tracking station (today, Japan’s Uchinoura 34m is the main station, and Usuda 64m is the backup).
