Hayabusa2 Mission Overview

TL;DR: The Hayabusa2 mission as mentioned in this paper was the first mission to explore a C-type near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu (1999 JU3) to observe and explore the 900 m-sized object, and return samples collected from the surface layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Achievement of IKAROS — Japanese deep space solar sail demonstration mission

TL;DR: The IKAROS project as discussed by the authors is the first interplanetary solar power sail technology demonstration mission, which was developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and was launched from Tanegashima Space Center on May 21, 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI

An artificial impact on the asteroid (162173) Ryugu formed a crater in the gravity-dominated regime

Masahiko Arakawa, +81 more

TL;DR: An impact experiment on Ryugu is described using Hayabusa2’s Small Carry-on Impactor, which produced an artificial crater with a diameter >10 meters, which has a semicircular shape, an elevated rim, and a central pit, and implications for Ryugu's surface age are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sample collection from asteroid (162173) Ryugu by Hayabusa2: Implications for surface evolution

Tomokatsu Morota, +117 more
- 08 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: The authors conclude that the asteroid experienced a prior period of strong solar heating caused by changes in its orbit, and suggest that Ryugu previously experienced an orbital excursion near the Sun.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly porous nature of a primitive asteroid revealed by thermal imaging

Tatsuaki Okada, +97 more
- 26 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: Thermal imaging data obtained from the spacecraft Hayabusa2 reveal that the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu is an object of unusually high porosity, which constrain the formation history of Ryugu.
