Hayabusa-2 Sample Returns to Earth
T?
When Hayabusa-2 flies past Earth in December 2020, it will release the capsule spinning at one revolution per three seconds. The capsule will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at 12 km/s and it will deploy a radar-reflective parachute at an altitude of about 10 km, and eject its heat-shield, while transmitting a position beacon signal. The sample capsule will land at the Woomera Test Range in Australia.
Hayabusa2 Second sample collection from Ryugu
T?
On July 11 the second sample collection from the asteroid 'Ryugu' will occur. The location is about 20m north of the artificial crater formed by the Small Carry-on Impactor earlier this year.
