Hayabusa 2 will be launched soon as 2014 and it is expected to return in 2020, bearing clues to origin of life on earth. Last week the Japanese Aerospace exploration Agency got the go-ahead from government to begin development of Hayabusa which is estimated to cost around 164 billion yen.It is expected to visit an asteroid to collect dust samples.Hayabusa 2 will visit a kilometer sized space rock called 1999 JU3 in search of organic molecules that might seeded life on earth.
Hayabusa 2 will carry 30 centimetre wide bomb known as an impactor and it will release the bomb when it is 500 metres from asteroid and the bomb explodes.Hayabusa 2 will scoop up dust from this crater.It uses 2 different methods for its performance.It will have a pellet to fire in to the asteroid thereby kicking up dust for collection by a cone shaped device.Hayabusa 2 has better back up orientation control systems, a better antenna and a redesigned engine. It is expected that the hayabusa 2 will eradicate most of the problems faced by the previous Hayabusa.
