Subject: Hayabusa 2 creates a crater on Ryugu

Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft will fire a projectile at the asteroid Ryugu, which it has been orbiting since last June. JAXA will provide a live webcast from its mission control center beginning today (April 4) at 9 p.m. EDT (0100 GMT on April 5). You can watch it live in the window above, courtesy of JAXA. Impact time is scheduled for 10:36 p.m. EDT (0236 GMT).

The procedure, called a “Small Carry-on Impactor operation,” will create a crater on the asteroid’s surface and kick up debris that Hayabusa2 could collect for its sample-return mission.

Wait, that’s American Eastern Daylight Time, not Australian Eastern Daylight Time, and a day different. Missed it.

“The SCI is a 2 kilogram (4.4 pound) lump of copper attached to Hayabusa2 that was shot toward Ryugu at a speed of 2 kilometers per second.”

Hold on. It’s on that web link now.
