Realizes non-fueled, long-term maintenance of sunward orientation, which was not possible in earlier spacecraft. Attitude maintenance realized by this technology for over months of the.5-year flight. Utilizes force (pressure) from sunlight for batteries, etc. Only one reaction wheel (RW-Z) left ON RW-X RW-Z RW-Z RW-Y Scientific results from the swing-by ( Dec 05 ) ONC-T Color Earth image Intensity distribution of light reflected from vegetation TIR TIR thermal image ONC-T color image LIDAR Successful laser reception at 6.7 million km (0.05 AU) on Dec 05 NIRS Light absorption by water molecules in Earth's atmosphere Mars imaging ( May - Jun 06 ) May, Jun 06 We performed observations, taking advantage of an alignment of Hayabusa, Earth, and Mars.

Used to send asteroid observation data to Earth. waves from the quasar DDOR:Delta Differential One-way Ranging At least two ground stations simultaneously receive radio waves from the spacecraft. In addition, we receive radio waves emitted from a visible celestial body (a quasar) that is as visually close as possible to the spacecraft. By comparing data received at two or more ground stations, the probe trajectory can be determined with high accuracy. (Radio waves from the probe and those from the quasar are received alternately.) This is the same principle as VLBI. 07 ~ Imaging at L5 ( 8 Apr 07 ) Three sets of four continuous images at 0 min intervals from the Optical Navigation Camera ( ONC-T ) telescope Date : 8 Apr 07 (JST) Exposure time : 78 sec (longest exposure) Results : No moving objects were seen in any sets Sun Orbital direction Earth Asteroid arrival Earth Launch Loc.

8 IV. Trajectories Trajectories overview After launch, the spacecraft enters a trajectory close to Earth orbit, and returns to Earth for a swing-by exactly year later. After the swing-by, it enters a trajectory close to orbit of asteroid, arriving there after about two orbits. It will remain at over a little more than one revolution around the sun. Dec 0 - Launch Dec 05 - Earth swing-by 7 Jul 08 - Asteroid arrival Nov - Dec 0 - Asteroid departure Nov - Dec 00 - Return to Earth Arrival at 7 Jun 08 Hayabusa trajectory orbit Earth orbit Earth swing-by Dec 05 Launch Dec 0 After that, it will leave, revolve around the sun for a little more than one orbit, then return to Earth Launch Earth swing-by Launch near, return and Earth swingby near 6. There is little distance between Earth and Hayabusa. Earth swing-by First orbit After Earth swing-by near 7, Hayabusa leaves Earth and gradually approaches (at ) First second orbit (asteroid arrival) While making one more orbit from to, Hayabusa makes one more orbit while approaching. Stay at asteroid Hayabusa arrives at near 0, and travels with the asteroid for over one solar orbit to 8. Asteroid Earth Hayabusa departs at around 8, then heads directly to Earth to return the capsule near. Trajectories 0

Earth approach time: : 08 (JST) Passed approximately,00 km over the Hawaiian islands Swing-by trajectory Diagrams depicting orbits around the sun. These figures show orbits of Earth and Hayabusa around the sun. The degree of curvature of the Hayabusa orbit at the swing-by point thus appears small. リュウグウ出発 departure Nov Dec 0/- 0 Operational リュウグウ近傍 trajectory in 運用軌道 vicinity Trajectory リュウグウから for Earth 地球への復路軌 return from 道リュウグウの orbit 軌道 Earth 地球再突入 re-entry Nov Dec 00/- 00 Earth 地球スイングバイ swingby 05/ EDVEGA Dec 05 ループ loop Earth リュウグウ Arrival at 到着 Jun Jul 08/ 地球からリュウグ Transitionary trajectory ウへの遷移軌道 from Earth to Hayabusa Before swing-by (Sep 05) Overview of orbits Swing-by point Hayabusa trajectory orbit Earth orbit Arrival at 7 Jun 08 Launch Dec 0 Hayabusa Earth swing-by Dec 05 After swing-by (Jun 06) Trajectories

Beside changing the traveling direction, it can also accelerate or decelerate. Approach velocity with respect to sun V A V a Approach velocity to Earth region (Earth at center) The direction of ball travel has changed by 0 deg, and its speed increased from 0 m/s to m/s. Ball 0m/s m/s 0m/s m/s m/s 0m/s Car Throw a ball at 0 m/s at a right angle toward a car travelling at 0 m/s. From the perspective of the driver, the ball approaches the car diagonally at approx. m/s. The driver catches the ball, and throws it at m/s in the direction of travel. The ball is now travelling at m/s with respect to the ground In this metaphor, Hayabusa is the ball, and Earth and its gravity are the car and the driver Trajectories
11 V. Near-asteroid operations 0 m Automatic / autonomous technologies GSP, GCP-NAV Guidance Sequence Program (GSP) - From sensor information, autonomous behavior patterns performed by the spacecraft can be efficiently rewritten and delivered from the ground. - We first obtain asteroid information that can only be derived through proximal observations, such as its surface conditions and reflectivity. Operators on the ground analyze this information to determine risk assessments and how to handle emergency situations. Before starting autonomous operations, ground commands are sent to rewrite tables in the spacecraft. - Efficient rewriting and instruction mechanisms are important for accommodating spacecraft restrictions on communications capacity and computer memory. Altitude Actual position Predicted 0 km position Actual trajectory Release TM Estimation error sphere Initial Position for GCP-NAV ΔV ΔV Set-point trajectory Final correction ΔV by GCP-NAV Altitude limit of GCP-NAV Synchronize with asteroid's surface TM Target point Approach phase GCP-NAV Final descent phase 6DOF Control Sensors in Use Ground Control Point Navigation (GCP-NAV) - Used for remote operations during approach from 0 km to several hundred meters. - Satellite images transmitted to ground. By matching feature points and contours of the asteroid with computer generated template images, we can detect position and attitude information of the spacecraft and the asteroid. - Based on this, calculate levels of engine thrust on the ground and issue commands to the spacecraft. - Human beings are good at recognizing complex images and instantaneous judgments of the overall situation. Ground instructions are thus advantageous despite the communication time lag.

12 Impactor operations sequence SCI separation Explosion & impact Horizontal avoidance Impact observation Vertical avoidanc DCAM separation Impactor: Debris and ejecta avoidance Impactor operates from above the asteroid (alt. several hundred meters) Debris avoidance : Debris rising due to explosion of the onboard impactor are avoided behind the asteroid. High-speed ejecta avoidance : Also avoid high-speed ejecta produced by projectile impact in. Low-speed ejecta avoidance : Low-speed ejecta falling back onto orbit around the asteroid are avoided by maintaining sufficient distance. Low-speed ejecta attaining very high altitudes are sufficiently slow as to not have a large effect, and chances of collision are low. Impactor separation Safe zone behind the asteroid Debris avoidance Explosion and impac Explosio High-speed ejecta avoidance Return to home position Low-speed ejecta avoidance Pinpoint touchdown Altitude 00 GCP-NAV Lateral direction ΔV to follow the asteroid's surface Target Markers (TM) TM separate at an altitude of several tens of meters, and flash lamps intermittently illuminate TM while cameras image them. By comparing differences in images when flash lamps are lit and when they are not, we can accurately extract TM without effects from surface patterns or sunlight. Facing toward identified TM, descend to the asteroid while using laser altimeter information to determine attitude and distance to the surface. 6-degree-of-freedom (position+attitude) gas jet injection control with high target tracking while minimizing fuel consumption is also a key technology. Use of multiple TM We will touch down near the artificial crater, and attempt to retrieve samples from exposed areas. We expect the artificial crater to have a diameter of around several meters. By approaching the destination point based on clues from multiple sequential TM, we can perform the touchdown with higher precision (a pinpoint touchdown) ~0 Using one TM Crater Range of error with no other TM for use as clues TM# Range of error for descent to TM # TM Onboard descent velocity control 0 [cm/s] TM release ONC-W FOV Switch LIDAR 0 [cm/s] Descent velocity 0 [cm/s] 0 [cm/s] Descent velocity 0 [cm/s] 0 [cm/s] TMT(Taeget Marker Tracking) mode DOF control Using multiple TM Range of error for descent to TM # with TM # visible TM# Near-asteroid operations Free Fall starts TD detection TM# Range of error for descent to TM # with TM # visibl
