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.

Planetary radio: a very interesting and informative conversation between Mat Kaplan and the Hayabusa2 Project Manager Yuichi Tsuda (about Hayabusa2 mission, sample testing, extended mission and the future MMX mission to Phobos) - https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/y...tsuda-hayabusa2
A few quotes from the interview: - the artificial crater has a diameter of 18 m - the curtain of debris reached a height of approx. 40 m - the total of the samples weighs 5.4g - chamber A contained samples from the 1st touchdown and C - from the second touchdown - chamber B was opened between touchdown 1 and 2 - it turned out to contain very fine grains - currently, a catalog of individual samples is being created (sizes from less than 1 mm to 1 cm) - an analysis of the composition of this material will begin in early summer (including carbon and water content, organic compounds and hydrated minerals) - more than 50% of the fuel remained on board the Hayabusa2 |
