...starting a new thread for Hayabusa's sampling feedback and the return voyage.
After its nail-biting success in November, will there be enough fuel for the Falcon to make it home? -------------------- --O'Dave

Well, it did everything NEAR did on only about 2/3 of the money, which is not to be sneezed at -- especially since it gave us nice comparative data on another asteroid. Unfortunately, it now looks as though everything it tried to do BEYOND what NEAR did will be a washout.

Unfortunately, it now looks as though everything it tried to do BEYOND what NEAR did will be a washout.  It also gave us closeup data on a class of world that, other than Galileo's glimpses of Dactyl, we had never seen close up. A very important mission. I must admit that I have no confidence now that it will return to earth. My hope is that it will regain orientation long enough to transmit the data (and possibly more images) from its last landing attempt. -------------------- |

And also remember that this is primarily an engineering mission, and as such even the failures are valuable. I'm sure JAXA/ISAS is keeping a list of what went right and wrong. Hopefully backup reaction wheels are near the top under "what to do better next time"
