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.

Good article by Dr. Elizabeth Tasker discussing the last of the three papers linked above by member Marcin600, Tachibana, et al., "Pebbles and sand on asteroid (162173) Ryugu: in situ observation and particles returned to Earth," Science, 10 February 2022.
QUOTE Hayabusa2 bagged ~5g of grains from asteroid Ryugu. But can 3 playing cards in weight really tell us about the whole asteroid? If not, then our deductions about the Earth’s beginnings will be wrong. My latest @NExSSManyWorlds, research by @ShogoCitrus🔗: https://manyworlds.space/2022/02/13/can-we-...steroid-sample/ https://twitter.com/girlandkat/status/1493085869682479104 Dr. Tasker is an astrophysicist who studies star and planet formation, and also a very good popular science writer. She tweets about her work at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and about her life with a cat. She's worth following. https://twitter.com/girlandkat |
