Rockbreaking In SpaceSydney, Australia (SPX) Jul 12, 2010 The recent recovery of Japan's never-say-die Hayabusa spacecraft has amazed the general public. It's also helped to ensure that there will be a Hayabusa 2 mission in the future, despite problems elsewhere in Japan's space program. This is good news. Hayabusa had more than its fair share of troubles, but managed to demonstrate how effectively most of the spacecraft was engineered. The mission of Hayabusa 1 and its planned successor is also essential. We need to understand more about the makeup of a ... read more |
