Hayabusa 2 has started its descent towards Ryugu for Minerva deployment. Real time navigation images are posted here. One new image every half hour or so.

Last I heard they lost contact with them and think it's because they're on the surface of the asteroid on the other side. Though they should have experienced a fully "day" so far now... at least a couple times.

I forgot to add from my press conference notes that:
1. Rovers have very primitive photodiodes so that they can tell H2 if they are dead or alive. Also, gyro sensors will be able to tell the story about their descent to Ryugu. Also, temp. sensors built into the spikes. All these will be able to say something about the fate of these rovers, soon. 2. H2 has, in addition to LIDAR, a proximity altitude sensor. Its range overlaps slightly with LIDAR range. P |
