Hayabusa2 or “Falcone2” has been on space routes for over three years.
Finally, on Wednesday, June 27, the first tests were received by the Japanese space agency JAXA for the codenamed asteroid “1673 Ryugu” This asteroid is named after a Japanese underwater mystic castle is about 300 million miles from the earth, or 186 million miles from Earth.
Asteroids such as comets are heavenly bodies. They allow us to look back into the history of the solar system more than four billion years ago. This becomes even more interesting for researchers.
But asteroids are also a potential threat to humanity, “reported DW” Transmission Periscope.
Ryug's coach will remain out of the land for the next few centuries, but similar asteroids located near our planet can become a dangerous day.
On the board of Hayabusa2 is a special package from Germany: Germany's <x2Mobile Asteroid Survey Scout”, built by the German Space Centre (DLR) and the French space agency CNES.
The MASCOT scan is equipped with a wavering arm that allows it to jump onto the asteroid's surface to improve and change its position if it falls unfavourablely.
Unlike the Rosetta space shuttle, Hayabusa2, if all goes well, will send a capsule containing rock samples to the ground./Periscopi/
