Japanese landing on an Asteroid

This friday a japanese spacecraft will have a Daring encounter with asteroid:

A Japanese spacecraft is about to make a close encounter with an asteroid in a mission to recover space dust.

The Hayabusa probe is stationed over a giant asteroid some 300 million km from Earth.

On Friday it will descend to the surface of the 600-metre-long space rock to carry out observations and release a tiny robotic probe.

Two further descents are planned later this month to collect samples for return to Earth next year.
