Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft is still exploring the Solar System.
After visiting asteroid Ryugu, collecting samples, and delivering a sample capsule back to Earth in December 2020, Hayabusa2 did not return to Earth itself.
The spacecraft kept flying into deep space.
Now it is on an extended mission, with its next target: asteroid Torifune.
On July 5, 2026, Hayabusa2 is expected to fly past Torifune, a small near-Earth asteroid.
This flyby will help scientists test navigation, study another asteroid, and prepare for future planetary defense missions.
Hayabusa2 is not just a past success — its mission continues.
