ASTEROIDS

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.

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.

The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's spacecraft successfully landed two tiny rovers on asteroid Ryugu on Sept. 22.

A newly discovered asteroid roughly 70 meters in size narrowly missed earth today, passing between the earth and the moon. This time lapse covers 2 hours and 26 minutes of its approach to earth last night while it was approximately 260,000 km from Earth. 15 second exposures with an SBIG ST-2000XCM and 8" Meade LX200 classic @ f/6.3. Tracked using my custom TeleTrak software.

If we want to travel to and live on other worlds, asteroids may provide the right resources for life in deep space.

On Aug. 17, 2018, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft obtained the first images of its target asteroid, Bennu (circled in green), from a distance of 1.4 million miles (2.2 million km), or almost six times the distance between the Earth and Moon. This cropped set of five images was obtained by the PolyCam camera over the course of an hour for calibration purposes and in order to assist the mission’s navigation team with optical navigation efforts. Bennu is visible as a moving object against the stars in the constellation Serpens.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission launched in 2016 and now (August, 2018) is entering its approach phase. OSIRIS-REx will arrive at asteroid Bennu in December, 2018.

A giant and “potentially hazardous” asteroid is on track to zip past Earth next week.

A spectacular fireball was captured by NASA cameras.

This video depicts OpGrav in an asteroid flyby and rendezvous context. The host spacecraft releases a set of small deployable probes prior to an asteroid flyby. It images the probes against the star-background. The images are processed and turned into a time-series of right-ascension and declination measurements. The progression of these measurements is then used to fit out the asteroid’s mass. Similarly, probes are deployed and tracked around an asteroid in a rendezvous scenario. Here the host spacecraft is orbiting the asteroid. The measurements are now used to determine higher order terms in the asteroid’s gravity field.

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. Against all the odds, it scraped up about 1 500 tiny grains of surface material and brought them back to Earth. These Hayabusa grains have become the focus of scientific study around the world – and three of them are currently being examined at ESA’s technical centre in the Netherlands.

A NASA video shows all known asteroids in the solar system.

In October 2017, astrobiologist Karen J. Meech got the call every astronomer waits for: NASA had spotted the very first visitor from another star system. The interstellar comet -- a half-mile-long object eventually named `Oumuamua, from the Hawaiian for "scout" or "messenger" -- raised intriguing questions: Was it a chunk of rocky debris from a new star system, shredded material from a supernova explosion, evidence of alien technology or something else altogether? In this riveting talk, Meech tells the story of how her team raced against the clock to find answers about this unexpected gift from afar.

Digitaltrends reports that after a 42-month journey through space, the Japanese probe Hayabusa 2 has finally reached its destination. It's a rocky little cube named Ryugu, formally known as Asteroid 162173. It is some 200 million miles from Earth. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (or JAXA) confirmed the arrival of the spacecraft in an announcement earlier this week. During its 18-month mission, the space probe will analyze the tiny rock with a series of tests. It will deploy three miniature rovers to the surface. Before leaving, it will even blast a new crater into the surface, gather up some of the material dislodged, and then return to Earth with the samples aboard. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/hayabusa-2-arrives-at-asteroid-ryugu/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The programme featured expert interviews with ESA and ESO scientists, news and updates from Europe's asteroid hunters and some of the most recent asteroid science results, including the blockbuster news on Oumuamua, the first-ever interplanetary visitor. The programme also included an interview with ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano on the challenges of future human missions to asteroids, as well as a surprise segment that answered the age-old question: What really killed off the dinosaurs? ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe

Hera is the European contribution to an ESA-NASA double-spacecraft mission intended to test whether a kinetic deflection technique can be used to shift the orbit of an asteroid. The target of the mission is a double asteroid system, called Didymos, which will come a comparatively close 11 million km to Earth in 2022. The 800-m diameter main body is orbited by a 170-m moon, informally called ‘Didymoon’. In 2022 NASA's DART spacecraft will first perform a kinetic impact on the smaller of the two bodies, then Hera will follow-up with a detailed post-impact survey that will turn this grand-scale experiment into a well-understood and repeatable planetary defence technique. Hera will also gather crucial scientific data on asteroids as a whole by carefully studying the exterior and interior properties of both bodies in the system. The spacecraft will also host two 6-unit cubesats that will be deployed near Didymos to perform, for the first time ever, multi-point measurements in a 'mother-daughter' configuration. A novel intersatellite link will be used to establish a flexible communications network supporting the close-proximity operations in very low-gravity conditions, a crucial step for future exploration activities around small bodies. Hera, a further optimisation of ESA’s earlier proposed Asteroid Impact Mission, is currently in Phase B1 of mission development in preparation of the Agency’s Council of Ministers at European Level in late 2019.

On June 30, 1908, a giant fireball exploded over the forests of Tunguska in Siberia. The impact leveled hundreds of miles of forest, and the exact cause is a bit of a mystery. At the time of the explosion, it was too difficult to reach this remote part of Siberia to look for clues about what might have happened. But finally in 1927, a scientist named Leonid Kulik led the first research expedition to investigate the scene. However, they didn't find a crater or any meteorite fragments, and the mystery remained unsolved. Scientists now believe either a comet or an asteroid exploded in the atmosphere instead of striking Earth. This created an air burst with shock waves powerful enough to knock down a forest.

A report published June 20 by the White House Office Office of Science and Technology Policy revealed NASA's five-step plan for protecting Earth from potentially-catastrophic asteroids.

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.

Asteroids pose a risk to our planet, and you only need to visit a museum to see the proof. Sixty six million years ago things were going just fine for the dinosaurs, until one day, a large and fast-moving space rock crossed paths with the Earth. What's being done to protect our planet from asteroids? At ESA in Darmstadt, Germany, the Space Safety team is working on developing an early warning system, particularly for the more numerous, smaller asteroids.

Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast. We'll record our 30-minute show, and then stay tuned for them to answer questions! Our knowledge of space is starting to match up with our ability to get out there an explore it. There are several companies working on missions and techniques to harvest minerals from asteroids. What other resources are out there that we can use?

This is how NASA intends to stop an asteroid before it slams into our planet, potentially ending civilization as we know it.
