HINODE HITOMI

ASTRO-H X-ray Observatory

The ASTRO-H Hitomi was the result of close collaboration between NASA, JAXA and other countries from its initial concept throughout its construction.

Hitomi Launched in 17 Feb. 2016

Hitomi SXS In-flight calibration 4.6eV FWHM at 6keV 50mK achieved by the cryogenic system

Cryogenic soft X-ray spectrometer was in perfect shape until the moment when communication to the spacecraft was lost (Mar 26)

Hitomi mishap

• JAXA declared the shutdown of Hitomi on April 28, before achieving regular operations for science. This deeply disappointed the astrophysics community in the world, particularly people who have been involved in the development of the instruments aboard Hitomi over the years.

• We were able to obtain SXS data of the Perseus cluster in the initial operation phase, which is a stunning demonstration for the in-orbit performance of the X-ray micro-calorimeter developed by NASA/GSFC.

• ISAS, ISAS ASTRO-H project, primary contractor (NEC) and Japanese X-ray astronomy community are deeply aware of responsibility for the disaster. 8

Anomaly investigation and recovery of the mission

• The anomaly is due to two different design-problems and one improper operation procedure all related to the Hitomi’s attitude control/safe-hold system.

• Technical culprit was identified and deeper cause of the problems including sociological factors were analyzed in the JAXA report to GOJ. All findings are open to public.

• My priorities have been (1) to fix the problems in our system that led to the mishap, (2) to recover the Hitomi science with SXS with NASA, and (3) to maintain the strong partnership with NASA and other agencies. 9

MMX JAXA’s exploration of the two moons of Mars with sample return from Phobos

MMX JAXA’s exploration of the two moons of Mars with sample return from Phobos

JAXA’s mission to the Martian moons (MMX) will make close-up remote

sensing and insitu observations of both moons, and return samples from Phobos.

MMX Mars at the outer-edge of the rocky planet region of the solar system

Rocky planets

Mars The location of the snow line

Gas giants, icy planets

The big question to be addressed with MMX

• Delivery of water, volatiles, organic compounds etc. from outside the snow line to entitle the rocky planet region to be habitable

• Small bodies as delivery capsules • Dynamics of small bodies around the snow line in the early solar

system • Mars at the gateway position to witness the process

Comet (ice) Primodal asteroid (Hydrous mineral)

- Two leading hypotheses, unsettled controversy. - Revealing the origin would lead to better understanding of

the behavior of small bodies around the snow line in the early solar system.

MMX Enigmatic origin of the Martian moons

Phobos samples are mixture of Mars materials and impactor materials: Mars sample return realized! We do learn about dynamics of the impactor.

Phobos sample analysis characterizes a capsule that was on its way to deliver water and organic compounds to the inner-solar system.

Mars sample return: When debris from the Mars surface found, we will be able to read-out the history of the Martian surface environment.

SPICA – Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics

• SPICA is optimized for mid- and far-IR astronomy. • SPICA unveils the “dusty era” in the Universe (evolution of

galaxies), and finds a route to habitable planets (formation of planetary systems).

• SPICA is launched at ambient temperature, and cooled down in space. The cryo-cooler system is a key heritage of JAXA ASTRO-H.

• To be proposed to the ESA M5 slot as an ESA-led mission.

Summary

• JAXA and space science community deeply appreciate substantial support from NASA and US scientists during the Hitomi crisis

• My priorities have been (1) to fix the problems in our system that led to the mishap, (2) to recover the Hitomi science with SXS with NASA, and (3) to maintain the strong partnership with NASA and other agencies.

• JAXA moves forward in spite of Hitomi disaster. This mishap shall make us and our system stronger, and make us more reliable partner in space science in the long run.
