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

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!

Successful Hayabusa

S-type NEO Itokawa

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).

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….

Summary
• The 2nd asteroid sample return mission
• Hayabusa-2 has been approved and will soon start
the Phase-B.
• The launch window is in 2014 (with back-ups in
2015).
• It will investigate 1999 JU3, a small C-type NEO,
in-situ in 2018-19, and bring its samples back to the
Earth in 2020.
• We would like to establish good international
collaborations.
