Sonda japoneză Hayabusa2 stabilește un record istoric

The Hayabusa2 spacecraft set a new record by flying just 400 meters from the surface of the Torifune asteroid, surpassing its initial mission goal. This maneuver, conducted at over 18,000 km/h, provided stunning images of the asteroid, which resembles a snowman. The mission also tests crucial technologies for planetary defense against hazardous asteroids. Following this success, JAXA plans future explorations, including a mission to the Apophis asteroid in 2029 and a journey to 1998 KY26 by 2031.
