TOPICSA book on the technology and engineering of
the Hayabusa2 mission has been published

A book focused on the engineering and technology developed for the Hayabusa2 mission has been published in English by Elsevier. The book is not aimed at a general audience, but rather consists of a collection of technical papers discussing specialized topics. However, if you have a university-level knowledge of space engineering, you are likely to be able to understand the topics discussed.

In total, the book consists of 584 pages in 27 chapters. The table below shows the chapter titles and main authors. The total number of co-authors is just under 100. The contents cover an overview of the Hayabusa2 project, the spacecraft system, trajectory choices, the main equipment such as the engine and sample capsule, the lander and rovers, the details of the various operations such as descent, touchdown, the impact experiment, and Earth re-entry. In the last two chapters, the outreach activities and the Extended mission are also explained.

If you are interested in planetary exploration or space engineering in the future, or if you are not satisfied with the articles released in our outreach program or in the media, then do consider this book. From this volume, we think you will be able to obtain information on how Hayabusa2 was devised, and what the spacecraft actually performed.

The book was authored by the people who designed and operated Hayabusa2, so the contents is written objectively, but there are also place where the love for Hayabusa2 shines through. It may be interesting to look out for such expression while reading the book!
