The spacecraft was designed to settle to a pure simple spin motion around the antenna axis.

The project team members were very delighted to have seen all the procedures of collecting samples apparently ended without any problem.

If we cannot revive the thrusters, of course a return journey is impossible.

Sending Minerva to the surface did not work.

We could prove an epoch-making planetary exploration through autonomous navigation and guidance, and stand foremost in the world in deep space exploration technology.

We are disappointed about the postponement of the departure, but we will work hard to have the probe back to Earth as long as there is a possibility.
