"Toward Ryugu"
2nd Version logo used from Earth Swing-by to Arrival at the asteroid. (Dec. 2015 to Jun. 2018）
We have changed the background to bluish color at the timing when Hayabusa2 performed
Earth Swing-by on Dec. 3, 2015 and went into the orbit to Ryugu.
With this, we have entrusted our image of Hayabusa2 exploring deeply in the Solar system
departed from near-Earth orbit.
As Urashima Taro goes down deep into the ocean riding on a turtle, this logo matches the image.
(The asteroid was named "Ryugu" in Sept. 2015. ）
