AMICA

The Asteroid Multi-band Imaging Camera (AMICA) on Hayabusa is designed to collect scientific images and also to be used for optical navigation. The AMICA system consists of a refracting telescope, a filter wheel with seven ECAS filters, a 1024x1000 pixel CCD, and associated electronics. AMICA has a field-of-view of 5.7 x 5.7 degrees giving a frame size of about 1 km at 10 km range.

The Asteroid Multi-Band Imaging Camera (AMICA) is one of the Optical        
            Navigation Cameras (ONCs) of the Hayabusa mission, a Japanese-led           
            sample-return mission to the asteroid 25143 Itokawa.  The three ONCs are    
            AMICA (also known as ONC-T), and two wide angle navigation cameras ONC-W1   
            and ONC-W2.  The AMICA system was used both for science and for optical     
            navigation.

25143 Itokawa

The Asteroid Multi-band Imaging Camera  
        (AMICA) of the Hayabusa mission to the asteroid 25143 Itokawa obtained
        1662 images from May 11, 2003, shortly after launch, until November   
        19, 2005, after Itokawa encounter.  This data set includes all images 
        from the mission, plus pre-flight flat field images.
