PART B_2

The Hayabusa Project

In 2003, the Hayabusa Project was started by Japanese scientists. One of its goals was to collect soil samples on an asteroid named Itokawa. Such samples could help solve the mysteries of the solar system’s origin. But its most important goal is to develop ion engines for space exploration. Gases and liquids are used for most rocket engines, while ion engines used electric field which is so weak. However, if ion engines are used in space, that weak energy can become powerful because there is no gravity and air resistance.

Another goal is to develop an autonomous navigation system. Radio signal takes 16 minutes to travel the distance between the Earth and Itokawa. Hayabusa could not wait for commands during the emergency, so it had to decide on its own.

The goals became even more difficult because of Itokawa’s small size. Hayabusa tried twice before successfully landing and collecting soil samples. However, when headed home, it had fuel and battery problems which the team were able to solve. But things got worse when communication with Hayabusa was cut off.
