Tokyo, Japan (SPX) February 1, 2006 The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has confirmed that no problem existed in the data processing function of the Daichi satellite; thus JAXA carried out operations to have Daichi return to normal operations until 11:54 a.m. on January 28, 2006 (Japan Standard Time, JST.) Subsequently, JAXA monitored the satellite's condition, and has verified that all its functions, including the data processing system, are working normally and have returned to regular operations. As Jaxa previously announced, Daichi had automatically put itself into safety mode because the anomaly detection function had been activated at 10:51 p.m. on January 27 (JST). JAXA then decided to complete the scheduled critical phase at 5:00 p.m. on January 28 (JST), moving onto the initial functional verification phase. JAXA will now verify the satellite's functions/ onboard equipment for about three months until April. JAXA would like to express its profound appreciation to all individuals and organizations that have supported its launch, tracking and control activities. * The critical phase is the period until the satellite is ready for the initial functional verification. It includes launch operations, deployment of the solar array paddle, communication antenna, and radar antenna after the separation from the launch vehicle, and completion of shifting to the regular mode of the attitude control system.
