JAXA eyeing possible locations for Hayabusa2’s landing on asteroid

 

TOKYO (Jiji Press) — The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA, is carefully examining locations on asteroid Ryugu for its Hayabusa2 spacecraft’s landing next month, after giving up the probe’s first touchdown attempt that had been scheduled for late October 2018.

 

In September-October last year, JAXA conducted a total of three rehearsals for the landing on candidate areas around the equator of Ryugu.

 

During the rehearsals, JAXA succeeded in lowering Hayabusa2 to a point 12 meters above Ryugu’s surface by a method of autonomously controlling the craft’s altitudes and attitudes using a laser sensor.

 

“We’ve got to the point where the only thing left for us to do is make a landing, so we’re fully prepared in terms of technique,” said Yuichi Tsuda, Hayabusa2 project manager at JAXA.

 

The problem is that Ryugu’s surface is rockier than expected. This made JAXA give up the first landing attempt.

 

Hayabusa2 has a set of solar panels with a width of some 6 meters, and a 1-meter-long cylindrical device to collect samples of Ryugu will be landed on the asteroid when the craft touches down.

 

For a safe touchdown, it is necessary to have no rocks with a height of over 50 to 70 centimeters around the landing site.

 

Currently, the space agency expects an error range of up to 15 meters between the targeted landing site and the location where Hayabusa2 would actually touch down. “At the moment, we can’t guarantee a perfect landing,” Tsuda said.

 

A JAXA team aims to reduce the error gap to 10 meters or less by improving Hayabusa2’s autonomous control program based on its movements during the rehearsals.

always. One of the best ones I have is "The 60 greatest Conspiracies of All Time"

ISBN 0-7607-0882-7

bought at Barnes and Noble in 97 or 98.

Learned much from that to go with knowledge I had. Sort of completed the waking process when I first read it.
