Makoto Yoshikawa (Hayabusa-2 Preproject leader)
& Two Itokawa Models
I am sorry for not attending this very interesting meeting.
We, Hayabusa-2 pre-project team, just have finished SDR (System Definition Review) and we will have some more programmatic reviews in next week and later in this month.
After these reviews, we will shift to Phase-B, so now is quite important period for us.
Thank you!
Successful Hayabusa

4 Hayabusa sample analyses LPSC Thu. AM
Asteroid samples were found!!
Summary of Current Status • Hayabusa mission finished in 2010 (except for the curation and
the sample analysis). • We have a lot of experiences from Hayabusa mission, and now
we are ready to start another sample return mission with more robust and reliable systems.
• From the point of science, the sample return from C-type asteroid is very interesting to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system and the life.
• Therefore, we have been planning Hayabusa-2 mission as sample return mission from C-type asteroid.
• At the end of 2010, the budget for Hayabusa-2 from the next fiscal year (=April 2011) was approved. At present, Hayabusa-2 is pre-project (Phase-A), but it will shift to project (Phase-B) in March 2011 (this month).

Mission Objectives: Hayabusa-2
1. Science "Where did we come form? " • The origin and evolution of the solar system • The original material of life • The origin of the water of the ocean
2. Engineering Develop original and unique technology for the exploration of the
solar system • New technology used for Hayabusa more reliable, robust • New challenge : non-destructive destructive (impactor)
3. Exploration Extend the area that human can reach • Return trip • Spaceguard, Resources, Research for manned mission, etc.

Summary
• The 2nd asteroid sample return mission Hayabusa-2 was approved and will soon get into the Phase-B.
• The launch window is in 2014 (or 2015, backup). • We hope we can observe the small C-type NEO,
1999 JU3, in 2018, and get the sample in 2020. • We would like to establish good international
collaborations.
