I-Arhente yokuHlola i-Aerospace yaseJapan (i-JAXA) ibike ukuqhuma okuyimpumelelo kumphezulu we-Ryugu asteroid ngoLwesihlanu.
Injongo yoqhushumbo, olwenziwa kusetyenziswa ibhloko ekhethekileyo, eyayiyiprojectile yobhedu enobunzima be-2 kg ngeziqhushumbisi, eyathunyelwa kwisikhululo esizenzekelayo se-interplanetary Hayabusa-2, yayikukudala i-crater ejikelezayo. Emazantsi ayo, izazinzulu zaseJapan ziceba ukuqokelela iisampulu zamatye ezinokunika ingqiqo ekusekweni kweSolar System.
Kwiimeko zobunzima obuphantsi kakhulu, iplamu enkulu yothuli kunye namatye iya kuvuka kwi-asteroid emva kogqabhuko-dubulo. Emva kweeveki ezimbalwa zokuzinzisa, i-probe iya kuhlaliswa kwi-asteroid ngoMeyi ukuze kuthathwe iisampulu zomhlaba kwindawo yecrater enesiphumo.
IHayabusa 2 mission yasungulwa ngo2014. Oosonzululwazi baseJapan bamisele umsebenzi wokuwusebenzisa ukufumana iisampulu zomhlaba kwi-asteroid yeklasi, ebubanzi bayo bungaphantsi kancinane kwekhilomitha, eya kuthi emva koko isiwe eMhlabeni ukuze kuhlalutywe nzulu. Iprobe ye-Hayabusa 2 kulindeleke ukuba ibuyele eMhlabeni kunye neesampuli zomhlaba ekupheleni kuka-2019. Ukuhlaliswa kweHayabusa-2, ngokweshedyuli ecwangcisiweyo, kuya kuqhutywa ekupheleni konyaka ozayo.
