The Japanese Hayabusa 2 twitter account reports that the spacecraft has begun descending toward Ryugu in preparation to deploy the MASCOT lander. Nothing on the English twitter as of the time of this post.

https://www.dlr.de/dlr/presse/en/desktopdef...#/gallery/32338 Numerous boulders, many rocks, no dust: MASCOT's zigzag course across the asteroid Ryugu For those like me wondering about the "no dust" in the title, it's described only as "fine material" in the accompanying text. No dust? Makes you wonder if the dust gets cemented. |
