Chapter sixty one shows Japan's second probe called Hayabusa 2 is being deployed to asteroid Ju 99 Asteroid. As Japans first mission retrieved core samples back to Earth now on display, this mission aims more complex as it is due to inter-faze with the first probe.
As Japan has delayed the launch of its space probe for the second time due to bad weather. The Hayabusa2 will now blast off on a six-year mission to mine a distant asteroid aboard Japan's main H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima Space Center in south of the country on Wednesday at 1.22 pm local time. The probe was originally scheduled to launch today but Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) postponed it to November first 2014 after a forecast of thick clouds.
Hayabusa 2, pictured, will now blast off from Tanegashima Space Center on Wednesday at 1.22 pm local time Japan delays launch of its asteroid probe for the second time due to bad weather. The asteroid explorer will set off aboard the country's main H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan. Originally scheduled to launch today but the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency postponed it to Monday due to a forecast of thick clouds. Comes weeks after European Space Agency made history after landing a probe on a comet.
Hayabusa 2, pictured, will now blast off from Tanegashima Space Center on Wednesday at 1.22 pm local time. The Hayabusa 2 had been set to blast off aboard the H-IIA rocket, pictured, from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan December 2014.
But the launch was postponed for the second time due to bad weather. The agency said it decided on the second postponement due to fears of strong winds, and warned that the launch could be delayed further depending on the weather. As this 31 billion yen ($ 260 million) project will send the explorer towards the 1999JU3 asteroid in deep space. Philae could come back from the brink in march 2015 detail samples off conjoined astroide on the esa rosetta As the International Space Station to have two women on board for experments.
It will blast a crater in the asteroid to collect materials unexposed to millennia of wind and radiation, in the hope of answering some fundamental questions about life and the universe. Hayabusa2 will take off only weeks after a European spacecraft's historic landing on a comet captivated the world's attention as it bounced across its surface as its bowed harpoon failed to attach into surface.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) confirmed that the primary payload, the Daichi-2 advanced land observation satellite, reached its intended orbit about 600 kilometers over the Pacific Ocean. The Daichi-2 is the successor to Daichi, which recorded movements in the Earth's crust caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
An aerial image shows the H-IIA rocket lift off from the island of Tanegashima in May this year. The probe, which is about the size of a domestic refrigerator, is expected to reach the asteroid in mid-2018 and spend around 18 months near it.
It will also study the surface by dropping tiny robots and if all goes well, asteroid samples will be returned to Earth in late 2020. The Hayabusa 2 mission will blast off just weeks after the European Space Agency succeeded in making mankind's first ever landing on a comet this month. As scientists said initial data sent from the robot lab Philae showed traces of organic molecules and a surface much harder than imagined. Philae, released from its mothership Rosetta, has gone into hibernation on the comet, having used its onboard battery power after 60 hours of prodding and probing.

JAXA unveiled the unmanned asteroid explorer designed to retrieve samples of surface from the asteroid 1999 JU3 to the earth. The spacecraft will soon undergo the first integration test to confirm the interfaces among onboard devices before its scheduled launch in 2012.
