Lecture at Gunma Kokusai Academy
Project manager, Prof. Masato Nakamura gave a lecture on January 27 at the Gunma Kokusai Academy, and the students displayed a full-scale cardboard model of Akatsuki. Prof. Nakamura was apparently "surprised" at what appeared to be the return of the Akatsuki to Earth in a way similar to the Hayabusa. It is also slated to be displayed at the Science Festival at the school on March 11.
