Injected orbit: Apogee altitude 11,741 km, Perigee altitude 101 km
The satellite is confirmed to be in good health.
We are now pleased to be able to report to you that we have safely
delivered messages and signs that were collected from 412,627 people

the sheets to be aboard the KAGUYA to the Moon. We would like to
express
our profound appreciation to all perticipants and hope your continued
