Hayabusa approached within 70 meters of Itokawa
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
November 11, 2005
On Nov. 9, the Hayabusa moved within 70 meters of the
Itokawa during a descending test that aimed to verify
the guidance and navigation functions.
The cause of an anomaly that led to the cancellation
of the rehearsal scheduled on Nov. 4 was clarified,
thus we will carry out its landing at the "MUSES Sea"
and sampling under the following schedule.
Nov. 12: Rescheduled rehearsal for descending (Release
the probing robot "Minerva")
Nov. 19: First sampling (Release the target marker with signatures)
Nov. 25: Second sampling
