I love that they opted for color cameras. Not much color to be seen, but the flares, together with the motion blur (while falling and hopping!) make the pictures look really dynamic. :)
- magicalhippo 8y agoWonder if it's because they were planning on taking pictures while hopping? The usual one-picture-per-color-filter method that they usually use on space probes probably wouldn't work well while in relatively fast motion.
- black_puppydog 8y agoThey did, see my other post. I don't know about the filters though, I'm not deep in the material, I also only know what they posted on twitter :P
- joemi 8y agoI'm not entirely sure that's motion blur. The images shown in the article make it look like it's just lens distortion. It's probably a fairly wide angle lens, and that's why things look stretched out the further from the center of the image they are. (I think.)
- black_puppydog 8y agoSome of it definitely is, they even mention it here: http://www.hayabusa2.jaxa.jp/en/topics/20180922e/ http://www.hayabusa2.jaxa.jp/en/topics/20180922e/
- java-man 8y agoi wish they had better cameras though
- OrwellianChild 8y agoThis was my question - they are the size of like 6 iPhones stacked together. Seems like they should look at least as good as the selfie cameras in your average smartphone.
- King-Aaron 8y agoReading this sub-thread, it makes me wonder how a consumer level smartphone camera would perform in space... I was under the assumption that they might have a limited operating temperature range, and that they might have issues in the extreme cold?
