Talk:25143 Itokawa

message: How about writing the distance from earth to this asteriod ? Martin A
:: Well, the distance must vary dramatically as Earth and Itokawa progress around their orbits, but if anyone is able to figure out the asteroid's closest approach to Earth, that would be helpful. The Singing Badger 16:26, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Badger, you & I've talked about using JAXA images before, but Wikipedia's policies are in flux, so let's see how an image fares now. I liked this photo in particular because it really shows the boulders well. 
Everyone else, JAXA releases its images for educational and non-profit use, as long as JAXA is credited, and as long as any people in the photos give their consent. I've linked to the JAXA copyright page from the image page. 
:Here's a version in English . Doesn't say quite the same thing as the Japanese version, but pretty close. kwami 07:50, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be deleted if it was. JAXA's image policy isn't tolerated here, as it's educational and non-profit use only, like Wikipedia. Rather ironic, in my opinion--Planetary 20:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

text: There are press-release images available (check Google Images for example).  But you are correct: JAXA has strange image policies. Michaelbusch 23:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually not that strange. ESA's policy is similar.--Planetary 23:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

text: If the only existing images of this asteroid are under a restrictive licence, wouldn't this be a prime candidate for fair use? It's not like anyone else can go out and take their own photos of this. Bryan Derksen 22:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good idea, especially with the recent release of image data on the JAXA site, which is an obvious statement of permission to use and spread.--Planetary 04:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: JAXA Image

message: With as cheap and lightweight as full color digital cameras are, why are the space agencies still sending out probes that only have monochrome cameras? Even when this probe was launched a fairly decent color digital camera was available for around $200 and only weighed a few ounces. That's a bare bones camera module, not the sort people use to take their vacation snaps. They need to shop more at places like "Spy Gear R Us" instead of putting out every part for bids and getting stuck with ludicrously overpriced, outdated technology.

message: Hello editors. This article seems to be small enough to hold this in it too. At the moment, I dont see any reason for it being separated. If no one disagrees in a merge, I will carry out the merge soon. Kind regards. Rehman(+) 03:43, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: . The list-page seems to be an orphan, thus I don't see why a merge wouldn't help. Rehman(+) 04:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  orthography 

message: Would it be a problem to change
*Equatorial surface gravity 	~0.0001 m/s²
*Escape velocity 	~0.0002 km/s
to more easy to read values such as 
*Equatorial surface gravity 	~0.1 mm/s²
*Escape velocity 	~0.2 m/s
?

message: Here the albedo is said to be 0.23. Even this is at the upper edge of the range for S-type asteroids (0.11 to 0.22). But 0.53 is a way too big. I must be a mistake. Oleksiy.golubov (talk) 01:06, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
