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.

Thank you! Can't wait for more images! I wonder how long the rovers will last; perhaps when MASCOT lands too?

Thank you! Can't wait for more images! I wonder how long the rovers will last; perhaps when MASCOT lands too? I think somebody said something about rover hopping on this forum. I also have read something about it. Apparently, they are programmed to hop out of darkness automatically. So, they do one hopping each morning and if they fall into a shade they will automatically hop again. If they find themselves yet again in a shade, presumably they will hop again. If then again they land in a shade their battery power may be running out already and presumably they will die there, I think. They are perhaps like sunlight hoppers. P |
