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.

The target of the extended Hayabusa2 mission:
„The asteroid 1998 KY26 captured by the ultra-wide-field primary focus camera Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) mounted on the Subaru Telescope . An asteroid is a point light source (the position where two lines intersect) that moves to the right near the center of the image. Taken from 2:04 am to 2:16 am (Hawaii local time) on December 10, 2020.” „...The diameter of this asteroid is estimated to be as small as about 30 meters, and it is so dark that it is very difficult to observe it from Earth without using a large telescope...” Credit: NAOJ (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan) https://www.nao.ac.jp/news/topics/2020/20201218-subaru.html English version: https://www.nao.ac.jp/en/news/topics/2020/2...218-subaru.html |
