In the last two weeks, A few spectacular fireballs Has been captured There are explosions on Earth, but none of them are as important as the one expected to sound in the sky today. Japan is an aerospace exploration agency Ready to collect samples Scooped close to the earth Asteroid Rayugu By skillfully engineered Hibusa 2 investigation.
The spacecraft’s sample collection capsule arrived in the U.S. early Sunday morning local time. And on Saturday in Europe – a time-consuming stroller providing space observers with a glowing light show will land near Woomera.
Want to find out how to watch a sample return mission live? We’ve got you covered below.
What’s all the fuss about? Haibusa 2 was launched in 2014 Rendered with the asteroid Ryugu in June, 2018. Then Bullet asteroid shooting in 2019, The spacecraft was able to capture samples of material derived from the spacecraft – probably the first time this was done by a spacecraft – and store it in a capsule that will return to Earth over the weekend.
Until JAXA scientists and engineers return to Japan, we may not know for sure what we have caught, but it looks like we will be able to peer inside a planet for the first time. The material trapped inside can tell us about the early solar system and how water was transported to Earth during its creative years.
JAXA will provide a live stream of the event from Mission Control. Streaming started Saturday, Dec. 5 at 9 p.m. (Lunch ET). The broadcast will last about 70 minutes, but it will last up to 90 minutes. A few seconds after the firefight is expected and the spacecraft will return to Earth as the spacecraft is currently unclear.
Given the type of our operation with the minimum number of team members in Woomera, we can’t promise anything, but if any, it will be embedded in the livestream from Sagamihara, Japan, ”said Masaki Fujimoto, deputy director of the Space Institute.
It is available to watch the livestream below. The town of Woomera and nearby Outback currently has over 80 JXA scientists and engineers. Kuber Paddy Haibusa 2 is ready to jump into action as Ubers as a sample of its planet on Earth.
