    MASCOT in the drop tower -- 4.7 seconds of weightlessness / MASCOT im Fallturm

    Published on May 28, 2013

    In 2014, the Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft will be launched en route to asteroid 1999 JU3. On board will be a very special passenger - the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout, better known as MASCOT. After a four-year journey, the spacecraft will reach the asteroid in 2018, and for the first time take measurements on the surface of an asteroid. A release mechanism will eject MASCOT from the spacecraft, setting it on its way to complete the last few metres to the asteroid.

    Hayabusa2 approaches Asteroid Ryugu

    Published on Jun 25, 2018

    JASA’s Asteroid Explorer “Hayabusa2” approaches Asteroid Ryugu and took a series of images with the ONC-T (Optical Navigation Camera – Telescopic). Asteroid Ryugu is seen from a distance of 220-100km between 18 - 20 June 2018 and from approximately 40 km on 24 June 2018. The Hayabusa2 team notes that Ryugu (162173 Ryugu, or 1999 JU3) appears to have a land of rich terrain, with numerous clusters of rock roll on the surface. Hayabusa2’s arrival at Ryugu is scheduled for around 27 June 2018.

    Hayabusa: the mission that brought an asteroid down to Earth

    Published on Aug 1, 2018

    "Some of the rarest, most precious materials on Earth originated very, very far away, and are only available to us now because of the incredible Hayabusa mission of JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

    The Hayabusa spacecraft landed on asteroid 25143 Itokawa in November 2005, collecting tiny grains of material and bringing them back to Earth.

    Find out more about these incredibly foreign bodies and the mission to collect them in this video, originally created as part of ESA’s joint, live webcast with ESO for Asteroid Day 2018.
