Japanese Asteroid Rovers Touch Down - Hayabusa 2 Update
The Japanese Hayabusa 2 mission has successfully managed to put 2 of its 4 'rovers' onto the surface of Ryugu and return the closest ever pictures from the surface of an asteroid. There was some concern when mission controllers didn't update us for a day, but, now we have pictures showing the spacecraft are healthy and moving over the surface.

Why Japan Is Landing Hopping Robots On An Asteroid
The Japanese space agency, JAXA, has become the first country to land two rovers on an asteroid. But these rovers, called Rover1A and Rover1B, aren't your ordinary rovers that explore a new world by driving on it. These rovers hop. And they will hop all over asteroid Ryugu for science. ------------------------------------------------------ Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more.

INSIDER on Snapchat: https://insder.co/2KJLtVo ------------------------------------------------------ Following is the transcript of the video: Japan has landed two hopping robots onto asteroid Ryugu as part of the Hayabusa2 mission. It's Japan's second mission to an asteroid, where it plans to return some samples of Ryugu to Earth by the early 2020s. So that scientists can study the samples with more sophisticated instruments and hopefuly uncover some of the biggest scientific mysteries of all. Following is a transcript of the video. On September 21, Japan’s space agency made history. It became the first country to land not one, but two rovers onto an asteroid. Already, the unmanned rovers have sent back the first images while on the surface. And no, so far it’s looking like there are no alien cities on its surface. But this mission, called Hayabusa2, could ultimately help solve one of the grandest scientific mysteries of all: Where did life on Earth come from? Scientists have been studying asteroids for years. NASA, for example, landed its N.E.A.R Shoemaker spacecraft on asteroid Eros in 2001. But its Japan’s space agency that is the first to deploy a pair of rovers to explore an asteroid’s surface. Japan launched the Hayabusa2 mission in December, 2014. So, it has already been about 3.5 years in the making. The spacecraft rendezvoused with its target in June 2018. Snapping a series of pictures that revealed the asteroid’s shape. The asteroid of choice was 162173 Ryugu, or Ryugu for short. In Japanese it refers to a magical, underwater Dragon Palace. Now, the asteroid flies through space, around the sun ever 16 months. Conveniently between the orbits of Earth and Mars. Making it an ideal target for the mission. Which, if all goes according to plan, will return a sample of the asteroid to Earth by the early 2020s. As the spacecraft flew closer to the asteroid’s surface, it prepared to deploy its first two unmanned rovers. But these guys aren’t your typical space rover. They’re slightly bigger than the size of a large iPhone. Measuring just 7 by 18 centimeters. And they won’t be driving around on the asteroid’s surface. They’ll be hopping. Yup, you heard that right. Hopping. Japan designed the rovers with a spinning cylinder inside that gives it the power to hop about a few meters at a time. This reduces the risk of getting stuck on the rocky, uneven surface. But it doesn’t come without it’s own risk. Asteroids are relatively small and therefore have a weak gravitational pull. And even by asteroid standards, Ryugu is tiny. It’s less than a kilometer across, making it no larger than a few city blocks. So, if the rovers hop too high, they could potentially go flying off into space. But so far, the mission looks good. The rovers have already achieved their first hop. Now, this may be the first time Japan has landed on an asteroid but it won’t be the last. These two rovers are just the first of four that Japan aims to land on Ryugu. The other two rovers are scheduled to land within the next year. In the process, Japan hopes to collect and return a sample of Ryugu to Earth. So that scientists can study it in more detail, looking for traces of water and organic material. If it turns out that asteroids like Ryugu contain similar material that we see on Earth it would be strong evidence for the idea that life on Earth first came from an asteroids billions of years ago. But this is a mystery that we can only answer if we study asteroids directly.
Tiny Robots Land on Asteroid Ryugu
JAXA's Hayabusa2 spacecraft deployed two little "rovers" called MINERVA-II1A and MINERVA-II1B to land on the surface of asteroid Ryugu on Sept. 21, 2018. JAXA confirmed that they landed on Sept. 22, 2018. -- They Made It!

Japan Hayabusa-2 mission: JAXA Space probe lands on asteroid - TomoNews
RYUGU ASTEROID — A Japanese space probe has reached its destination after travelling through space for three years. The Hayabusa 2 spacecraft blasted off in December 2014, Reuters reports. This week it arrived at its destination, Asteroid Ryugu, some 3 billion kilometers from Earth. Reuters reports Hayabusa 2 will orbit the asteroid for a few months in order to map its surface before it attempts a landing. The probe will use explosives and a cannon to craft a hole the surface, then collect from samples from the area. After the Hayabusa 2 has finished its work on the asteroid, the probe will begin a year-and-a-half journey back to Earth. It's expected to return in 2020.

Anti-Tank Round vs Asteroid - For Science! - Hayabusa 2
The Hayabusa-2 Spacecraft is almost at its destination, the asteroid Ryugu, which is a small near Earth asteroid. Hayabusa-2 carries a number of experiments including 4 surface rovers and a surface impactor experiment that bears more than a passing resembelance to an Anti-Tank weapon.
はやぶさ2ミッションとMASCOT小惑星着陸機
***Japanese Version***
On 3 December 2014, the Japanese space probe Hayabusa2 embarked on a sample return mission to asteroid (162173) Ryugu (formerly designated 1999 JU3). On board is the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT), a lander built by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt; DLR) in collaboration with the French space agency CNES. The aim of the Hayabusa2 mission is to learn more about the origin and evolution of the Solar System. As asteroids account for some of the most primordial celestial bodies, researching them gives us a glimpse into our cosmic past. Furthermore, Ryugu is a near-Earth asteroid, which means it could pose a threat to Earth and must be investigated in order to reduce this threat.

Animation: La mission Hayabusa2 avec l´atterrisseur MASCOT
En décembre 2014, la sonde japonaise Hayabusa 2 a quitté la Terre avec à son bord Mascot (Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout), un atterrisseur développé par le DLR (Agence spatiale allemande) en collaboration avec le CNES. La mission de cette sonde? Prélever des échantillons de 1999 JU3 (Ryugu), un astéroïde géocroiseur de 920 mètres environ. Hayabusa 2 arrivera à proximité de ce corps céleste au cours de l'année 2018. Puis, en octobre 2018, la sonde larguera l’atterrisseur Mascot, qui viendra se poser à la surface de l'astéroïde.
