The Second International Conference on the Exploration of Phobos and Deimos The Next Asteroid Sample Return Mission of Japan: Hayabusa-2 14-16 March, 2011 NASA Ames Research Center, Mountain View, CA, USA Presented by Seiji SUGITA (Univ. of Tokyo) Prepared by Makoto Yoshikawa, Hajime Yano (JAXA) and Hayabusa-2 Pre-project Team 1 I am sorry for not attending this very interesting meeting. We, Hayabusa-2 pre-project team, just have finished SDR (System Definition Review) and we will have some more programmatic reviews this week and later this month. After those reviews, we will move Makoto Yoshikawa into the Phase-B, so now is quite (Hayabusa-2 Pre-project leader) important period for us. & Two Itokawa Models Thank you! 2 Successful Hayabusa 2005 2003 S-type NEO Itokawa 2010 Asteroid Samples Were Recovered!! Initial sample analysis results were reported at LPSC last week4 Summary of Current Status • Hayabusa mission finished in 2010 (except for the curation and the sample analysis). • We have a lot of experiences from Hayabusa mission, and now we are ready to start another sample return mission with more robust and reliable systems. • From the point of science, the sample return from a C-type asteroid is very important for understanding the origin and evolution of the solar system and life. • Therefore, we have been planning Hayabusa-2 mission as a sample return mission from a C-type asteroid. • At the end of 2010, the budgetary request for Hayabusa-2 project to start from the next fiscal year (April 2011~) was approved. At present, Hayabusa-2 is a pre-project (Phase-A), and it will turn to a formal project (Phase-B) by the end of March 2011 (this month). 5 Mission Objectives: Hayabusa-2 1. Science "Where did we come from? " • The origin and evolution of the Solar System • The original material of terrestrial life • The origin of water of the Earth ocean 2. Engineering Develop original and unique technologies for solar system exploration • technologies verified by Hayabusa more reliable, robust • New challenges physical interaction (impactor) 3. Exploration Push the limit where human-beings can reach • Deep space round trip • Spaceguard, Resource utilization, Precursor for human missions…. 6 There Are Several Spectral Types of Asteroids by Heliocentric Distance D-type ・Richer in organic materials ・Tagish Lake? S-type like objects S-type ・Rock and metals ・Ordinary chondrite C-type like objects Distance from the Sun ・Organic, hydrated minerals ・Carbonaceous chondrite C-type Asteroid classification by spectral types 7 Primitive Body Exploration Program Considered in Japan Post Hayabusa Hayabusa Hayabusa-2 2003 - 2010 Hayabusa-Mk-II 2014- 1999 JU3 Itokawa Wilson-Harrington?
