After arriving at Trojan asteroid, the lander is separated from solar power sail-craft to collect surface and underground samples and perform in-situ analysis. The lander delivers samples to solar power sail-craft for sample return mission (optional). <Event> 1) Launch 2) Earth swing-by 3) Jupiter swing-by 4) Arrival at Trojan asteroid 5) Departure from Trojan asteroid 6) Jupiter swing-by 7) Return to Earth optional 36

37 Summary Hayabusa and Hayabusa2 are challenging missions not only for science but also for space technologies. Hayabusa2, which was launched on Dec. 3, 2014, are now on the way to the target asteroid Ryugu, and the operations are ongoing smoothly. Asteroids are important in various aspects, and we would like to extend our missions to other objects. Science Spaceguared Resource Manned mission Engineering Culture Asteroids are important! 37
