JAXA Hayabusa 2 Project
A sample return mission to primitive bodies has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of pristine materials essential to understand the conditions for planet formation and emergency of life.
It can provide us important information needed to develop strategies to protect the Earth from potential hazards.
Moreover robotic sample return mission to primitive bodies will be pathfinders for sample returns from higher-gravity bodies and, later on, for human missions that might use asteroid resources to facilitate human exploration and the development of space.
We are planning "Hayabusa2" mission as a successor to "Hayabusa", toward elucidation of the origin and evolution of our solar system and life.
