@dailyspacetime: 🚀 Hayabusa2 Should Be Done With Asteroids Hayabusa2 already brought pieces of Ryugu back to Earth, but now the Japanese probe is being sent into another asteroid encounter instead of retiring from the hard part. The spacecraft will soon attempt one of the closest and riskiest space-rock flybys in spaceflight history. That twist is the point: a mission famous for returning samples is now being used to study another asteroid without taking anything home. Space.com reports the July 5 pass as a super-close flyby, pushing Hayabusa2 into a second act after its Ryugu delivery. Ryugu gave scientists real material from a small world, while this next target will be studied through a fast, dangerous pass at asteroid range. Compared with a sample return, a flyby has a harsher constraint: the spacecraft gets only the encounter it can survive. Close asteroid flybys let scientists compare how different small worlds are shaped, built, and changed over time. Those details feed future sample missions and planetary-defense planning, because small bodies are not all the same kind of rock. So Hayabusa2 is no longer just the probe that came home with asteroid samples; it is now testing how much more one spacecraft can still teach after its headline mission is over. If a spacecraft already delivered Ryugu to Earth, would you risk it for one more asteroid? Follow @dailyspacestories for more space stories! 🚀 #Space #Hayabusa2 #Ryugu #Asteroids #SpaceExploration

That’s some amazing camera resolution

btw spacecraft like hayabusa don't even have the antenna nor camera to record and send video

It looks as though the video shows a solar panel being broken off by touching a rock. Anyone else see that?

We can get this quality in space but if there’s a cloud direct tv has a seizure? Bruh.

I forget, was that a NASA or JAPANESE mission?

Cadê as estrelas??

how does the gravity of such a small body work to keep the soil and rock
