Akatsuki (Planet-C) → Akatsuki probe — for consistency, per Suisei probe (PLANET-A) – 86.162.163.210 (talk) 22:37, 29 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It's now renamed to Suisei (probe), so there's no need anymore. Although, I think this should be Akatsuki (probe).  --Fukumoto (talk) 12:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree, move to Akatsuki (probe), per Nozomi (probe) & Suisei (probe) - 86.162.163.210 (talk) 00:57, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree to rename to "Akatsuki (probe)" is the most accurate. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 02:39, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I would oppose the move as proposed to "Akatsuki probe", but agree that moving to "Akatsuki (probe) seems most logical. --DAJF (talk) 23:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

May still not be over
Just a note really not to assume this should all be converted to past tense yet. As detailed here it may be possible to try for another insertion in 7 years time and the indications from this press conference were that they intended to try. ChiZeroOne (talk) 05:24, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * General point this article is out of date bits of its are in the wrong tense and probably needs a major rewrite — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.219.152.247 (talk) 17:00, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Read it completely and then fix what you think needs fixing. Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 02:32, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

First use of ceramic thruster in space?
JAXA says "The OME [is] a newly developed ceramic thruster made of silicon nitride (Si3N4.) It is the first time in the world to successfully generate the thrust by the ceramic thruster in space." Worth including or not? 67.141.98.142 (talk) 01:28, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, it burned down and left the probe adrift for 5 years. I would not call it "successful". BatteryIncluded (talk) 02:23, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * For the (heliocentric) orbit control they did produce thrust. Were there unsuccessful operations before? Otherwise we could just say "it is the first time they were used". --mfb (talk) 14:44, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
