Two robots from Japan's space agency have landed in a mobile asteroid and have already started a study as part of the mission that seeks to illuminate the origin of the solar system, writes The Guardian, translated Periscope into Albanian.
This is a historic mission because for the first time a robot could land on the surface of a moving asteroid, according to Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency. [ Footnote] JAXA.
The agency said that the surrounding robots, biscote-shaped, have successfully landed at the Ryugu asteroid after being launched on the Hayabusa2 mission.
The two robots are operating normally and have started to study Ryugu's surface,” said JAXA in a statement Saturday.
Robots will benefit from the fact that the asteroid has low gravity, jumping on the surface and staying in the air for 15 minutes.
“I'm proud to have established a new method of exploring space for small heavenly bodies,” said JXA project manager Yuichi Tsuda.
The agency had tried something similar in 2005, but it had failed. /Periscopi
