Hayabusa2 Capsule to be released next month at Sagamihara City Museum
Update: 2021-02-20 06:02
The capsule of the spacecraft “Hayabusa2” returned to the earth in December last year and was carried to the JAXA research facility in Sagamihara City, where the sand and stones of the asteroid “Ryugu” inside are being analyzed. .. The capsule, which has traveled about 5.2 billion kilometers in space over six years, will be open to the public for the first time next month at the Sagamihara City Museum.
It will be released for 5 days from the 12th to the 16th, and as a measure against the new corona, time will be divided and admission will be restricted. In addition, advance application is required for the tour, and acceptance will start soon, but if there are many applicants, a lottery will be held.
The museum is currently closed when the state of emergency has been declared, and if the declaration has not been lifted during the planned release period, we will consider canceling it. (18:26 on the 19th)
