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.

Is there any information concerning the mass spectrum that was recorded on the gas emitted from the sample?
they mention a first measurement in Australia, few hours after the collection of the capsule, and a second measurement in sagamihara, before opening the sample canister. they say both measurement gave similar information, and prove not to be terrestrial. I wonder what was measured (mass range, mass resolution, isotopic sensitivity, ionization method...) does anyone has info on the mass spectrum that was set-up in Woomera? |

I wonder what was measured (mass range, mass resolution, isotopic sensitivity, ionization method...) does anyone has info on the mass spectrum that was set-up in Woomera? As far as I know: 1. Technique. The technique that was used to analyze the collected gas („the molecular and isotopic composition” - 1, 2) is Mass Spectrometry (MS). [from Wikipedia: Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical techniques that is used to measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are typically presented as a mass spectrum, a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio...] The official JAXA information is here - https://global.jaxa.jp/press/2020/12/20201215-2_e.html (and pdf - here) I haven't found more detailed information anywhere. 2. Results. The only results of analysis reported so far are in the link above „In early 2021, the first details of the analysis will trickle out.” - 3 I think we will not see detailed results until the first scientific article or scientific note is published. May I be wrong! After all, the community is hungry for these results, so maybe they will throw some "partial results" in the meantime (if they have a wow effect ) |
