Hayabusa currently undergoes the correction maneuver (TCM-2), which will conclude 5 m/sec velocity increment and terminate around 03:30 JST on May 27th.
TCM-2 was designed to accomplish the specified velocity increment of 5 m/sec, and started on May 23rd. It was converted around 100 hours operation originally. However, the TCM-2 operation has adopted slightly higher thrust than planned to stabilize the propulsion, and will be complete several hours earlier than expected.
