JAXA curation for Bennu samples returned by the NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 182-207, January 2026.
Abstract NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission successfully collected and returned ~121.6 g of bulk samples from the B‐type, near‐Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Upon returning to Earth, the samples were transported to the NASA Johnson Space Center where most of the samples have been stored and processed.

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-16, January 2026.
Abstract Analyzing primitive extraterrestrial samples from asteroids is key to understanding the evolution of the early solar system. The OSIRIS‐REx mission returned samples from the B‐type asteroid Bennu, providing a valuable opportunity to compare them with the Ryugu samples collected by the Hayabusa2 mission.

Size Constraint on Hayabusa2 Extended Mission Rendezvous Target 1998 KY26 via VLT/VISIR Nondetection

The Astronomical Journal
1998 KY _26 is a tiny near-Earth asteroid ( H = 26.1) discovered in 1998. It has been selected as the target of the Hayabusa2 extended mission, which will rendezvous with 1998 KY _26 in 2031.

Implications of cohesive strength in asteroid interiors and surfaces and its measurement

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018
Recent observations and theory have indicated that rubble pile asteroids may have a small, but finite, level of tensile strength, allowing them to spin above their spin deformation limit as defined in Holsapple (Icarus 205:430–442, 2010).

Ground-based characterization of Hayabusa2 mission target asteroid 162173 Ryugu: constraining mineralogical composition in preparation for spacecraft operations [PDF]

, 2017
Asteroids that are targets of spacecraft missions are interesting because they present us with an opportunity to validate ground-based spectral observations. One such object is near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (162173) Ryugu, which is the target of the Japanese
