Hayabusa ready to head home with asteroid sample
Article Abstract:
The latest space mission seems to have succeeded in its second attempt to collect pieces of a small asteroid taken from a metre long asteroid called Hayabasa, although engine trouble casts doubts on whether the craft can return home safely. The astronomers praised Hayabusa's achievements to show the way for future asteroid missions especially those involved in the operation of ion propulsion engines and delivery of high resolution images.
