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.

News from JAXA:
1. „The samples from asteroid Ryugu in the re-entry capsule weigh about 5.4g! This greatly exceeds the the target yield of 0.1g (the amount required for the initial scientific analysis) set during the design of Hayabusa2.” - https://twitter.com/haya2e_jaxa/status/1339811691681308673 „This is weighed at the JAXA Sagamihara Campus Extraterrestrial Sample Curation Center on December 18, 2020, including the sample as a whole "Sample Catcher" in the sample container taken out from the re-entry capsule of the asteroid explorer "Hayabusa2". By doing so, the approximate total weight of the collected samples (total of A, B, and C chamber samples) was calculated from the difference from the weight of the "sample catcher" before launch. This does not include the amount of sample outside the "Sample Catcher" found on the bottom of the sample container on December 14th.” (a rough translation of this text - https://fanfun.jaxa.jp/topics/detail/17721.html ) 2. "This photograph is the color-adjusted version of the photo released on December 15 (it looked brown due to the orange ambient light in the curation facility)" - https://twitter.com/haya2e_jaxa/status/1339813468883439624 |
