Summary

Description (June 13, 2010) The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Hayabusa spacecraft leaves a streak of light behind the clouds is as it re-enters Earth’s atmosphere over the Woomera Test Range in Australia. The Hayabusa mission was launched on May 9, 2003 to research new technologies that would return planetary samples to the Earth for study. The mission rendezvoused with the near-Earth asteroid Itokawa in September 2005. On November 25. 2005, Hayabusa touched down on the asteroid, becoming the second man-made craft to ever do so (the first was NASA’s Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous-Shoemaker spacecraft which landed on Eros on February 12, 2001). The Hayabusa spacecraft marked the first attempt to ever sample an asteroid’s surface and became the first craft to land on an asteroid and then return to Earth. The reentry craft landed on June 13, 2010
