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.

"Hayabusa2 Mission Update" (2021 Asteroid Day LIVE Digital from Luxembourg, with English transcription, May 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AphsbNBP0no 4. August 4, 2021 - Operation status report (2021/7/12 - 2021/7/31) - Google translation: „We continue to operate the ion engine. Currently, we are operating while checking the performance of which combination of two of the four ion engines is best to operate, and fine-tuning the set values such as voltage. In recent operations, the QCM (quartz crystal microbalance), which has been monitoring the state of contamination and wear on the ion engine mounting surface since its launch, has reached the end of its life and issued a command to stop the QCM operation (QCM, thank you for a long time. !). Every day I watch over the spacecraft through trial and error during operation to achieve the extended mission. (Kana Hattori)” - https://www.hayabusa2.jaxa.jp/news/status/ |
