Ryugu Asteroid

2022
(162173) Ryugu is a near-Earth C-type (i.e., carbonaceous) asteroid. It has been, after Itokawa, the second target for an asteroidal sample return, thanks to the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission (Watanabe et al. 2019). Most interestingly, Ryugu in situ observations in 2018–2019 have confirmed, as expected from its classification, the presence of significant ...

Blowing a crater in asteroid Ryugu

Science, 2020
Asteroids The Hayabusa2 spacecraft was designed to collect samples from the nearby asteroid (162173) Ryugu and return them to Earth for laboratory analysis. Arakawa et al. describe how the spacecraft's Small Carry-on Impactor was fired into the asteroid's surface, producing an artificial impact crater.

Landing on the surface of Ryugu

Science, 2019
Asteroids In October 2018, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft dropped the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT) lander onto the surface of the asteroid (162173) Ryugu. Jaumann et al. analyzed images taken by the MASCOT camera during its descent and when resting on the surface.

Hayabusa avvista Ryugu

2018
Terra, terra! Il profilo dell’agognata meta si palesa sull’orizzonte del vascello spaziale giapponese Hayabusa-2. Per ora è solo un puntino luminoso a più di un milione di chilometri, ma dopo più di tre anni di navigazione solitaria è una bella ...

Collecting a sample of asteroid Ryugu

Science, 2020
Asteroids The Hayabusa2 spacecraft recently traveled to the nearby carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu to collect samples and return them to Earth for laboratory analysis. Morota et al. describe Hayabusa2's first sample collection, taken during a brief touchdown on Ryugu's surface. Close-up images and video taken during the sampling process allowed the authors

Asteroid Ryugu is dark and dry

C&EN Global Enterprise, 2019
Spectroscopic analysis by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa2 reveals that the asteroid 162173 Ryugu is unusually dark in color and has little water, though there’s evidence that its rocks were once ...

Asteroid Ryugu and the Hayabusa2 Mission

Abstract The carbonaceous type (C-type) asteroid Ryugu is a near-Earth object measuring ~1 km in equatorial diameter. C-type asteroids of this size are seldom found in the near-Earth region, making Ryugu an invaluable target for a sample return mission.

La ferita di Ryugu

2020
Il 5 aprile 2019 la sonda giapponese Hayabusa-2 ha lanciato un proiettile verso la superficie dell’asteroide Ryugu, che ha generando un cratere artificiale di 14.5 metri diametro. Oltre al recupero del campione, questa operazione ha permesso di studiare in dettaglio i processi di resurfacing causati dall’impatto, scoprendo diverse cose ...
