... material for building and manufacturing. The carbonaceous (C-type - CI, CM, CR, C2) asteroids like Ryugu have abundant carbon as well as water (in the form of ice or hydrated minerals) and thus could produce hydrogen, oxygen, and, like Mars, methane ( Rivkin, 2012 ). There is a strong correlation...

Asteroids have a variety of compositions; the C-type asteroids like Ryugu have abundant carbon as well as water (in the form of ice...

... countries. The results are being published in sequence. The spacecraft Hayabusa 2 ( Hayabusa meaning peregrine falcon ) was launched in 2014, and in 2018 it safely reached the asteroid Ryugu (meaning palace of the sea god , according to a Japanese legend). Data suggests that it has succeeded in sampling...

... term, sample return from the C-type asteroids Ryugu, by the Hayabusa2 mission, and Bennu, by the OSIRIS-REx mission, could provide an abundance of similar materials through which to track the early history of the solar system. REFERENCE Nittler LR and 7 coauthors ( 2019 ) A cometary...

Bennu, which is the focus of the current NASA lead OSIRIS-REx sample return mission ( Lauretta et al. 2019 ), and asteroid Ryugu, which was visited by the Hayabusa2 mission operated by the Japanese space agency JAXA. Thus, the detailed study of the carbonaceous chondrites provides the framework...

... on the Ryugu asteroid ( Arakawa et al. , 2020 ). Clearly, the ability to model seismic wavefield in irregular bodies is useful in understanding both the interior and surface processes of celestial bodies. To model seismic waves in an asteroid, we need to address two issues. First, we must be able...

In the Hayabusa 2 mission, he is going to investigate samples of asteroid Ryugu as a sub-team leader of the initial analysis team.

These data should also help in the petrological analysis of the carbon storage function of the South Pacific and Southern of silicate materials from the Ryugu and Bennu asteroids. Oceans.

... in the fine-grained matrix in primitive chondrite meteorites, which are rich in carbon and other organic materials. This is why samples from carbonaceous type (C-type) asteroids Bennu and Ryugu, subjects of ongoing missions, are such an exciting prospect. The abundance of stardust in meteorites is a function...

Both plan to visit a primitive asteroid and return samples to Earth, which will be an invaluable opportunity to learn more about the processes that shaped our solar...

... inclusions within them, makes it especially exciting to see whether samples returned from asteroids Bennu and Ryugu by the OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 missions, respectively, will add to our understanding of ancient fluid activity on primitive, carbon-rich parent bodies. There is a paucity of aqueous fluid...

... advance in understanding the abundance of quasicrystals in the Universe will be through the direct investigation of asteroids in situ; that is, in space. The first efforts of this type have already begun, as evidenced by the successful touchdown of Hybabusa2 on the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu in July 2019...
