JAXA wants to continue with Hayabusa 2. However there is/was a huge fight about the budget. Main problem was the budget for the launch vehicle. 2 months ago or so there was a report which said, that JAXA had to find another launch vehicle or the project gets cancelled. Now the Italian space agency played saviour and overed the VEGA. So finally we might see another Hayabusa in 2011.

There was an article in today's (11 August) Yomiuri newspaper about Hayabusa 2. She will create a crator with an explosive charge and land in it.
She will be using a few different types of sample recovery system. One of them is a sticky material. The paper did not mentioin what other methods are. Pandaneko |

My apologies, an explosive charge will be used to send out a metal chunck to the asteroid to create a crator. That makes me wonder about the potential damage to the mothership...

What follows is from WIKI on Hayabusa 2. I had a look at WIKI in English and there was little. Proposed improvements are as follows.
1. Instead of a parabolic antenna an array antenna as used with Akatsuki will be used. 2. Pipe lining for chemical thrusters and reaction wheels will be improved. 3. Ion engine power will be increased from 10 micro N to 10 milli N. 4. Sampling sequence will be improved. For instance, a fish eye lens will monitor sampling process and optical monitoring of grains being retrieved. 5. Projectile's shape (sampler horn) will be changed from ball bearing shape to conical bullet shape at 90 degrees. 6. Impacter is 20 cm in diameter and weighs 10 kg. After seperation from Hayabusa 2 it will be deformed in shape by the explosive pressure to smush into the asteroid. What surprised me was that Hayabusa 2 is very similar to Hayabusa, even with a sampler horn! I would have thought that they have given it up... Pandaneko |
