AN INcReDIbLe JOuRNeY
When the Hayabusa spacecraft successfully returned to Earth
on 13 June 2010, it was carrying a unique and precious cargo –
particles of dust from the surface of an asteroid. The seven-year
mission, carried out by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
(JAXA), is not only one of the greatest technological feats of modern times, it has also given us new and invaluable insights into the
birth and evolution of our solar system.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is Japan’s
national aerospace agency. It was created in 2003, when three
separate organizations merged into a single institution to com-
bine advanced research and technological development with the
launch of satellites and spacecraft into space.
Under the motto of “Reaching for the skies, exploring space”,
JAXA continues to challenge unknown and unexplored frontiers,
striving to succeed with its wide range of research and development missions in order to contribute to the overall peace and
happiness of humankind.

The technological challenges facing the Hayabusa mission were
immense. It would be the fi rst spacecraft deliberately designed to
make contact with the surface of an asteroid in order to gather physical soil samples for analysis back on Earth. As the distances were
great and little was known about the asteroid on which it would land,
Hayabusa, which means falcon in Japanese, created new standards
for space technology in the areas of ion engines, autonomous con-
trol and optical navigation

Around 4.5 billion years ago, our solar system was born from a massive cosmic dust cloud. Our own planet, Earth, the third in the solar system, became a life-friendly
planet. Humankind has always gazed at the stars, later observing the diff erent planets through telescopes. Eventually, advanced technology allowed us to send space
probes for on-sight observation of celestial bodies. Huge telescopes also enabled us to discover whole new worlds and revolutionized our understanding of what a
planetary system is. Though we may sometimes think modern technology has solved most of the mysteries of space and humankind, the exploration of the origin of
life and the universe has only just begun.

Before the Hayabusa mission, the Moon was the only astronomical body from which physical samples of the surface had been
gathered. But, since the Moon has changed greatly over time due
to thermal processes, these samples could tell us little about the
origins of our solar system. Asteroids, being smaller, were thought
to contain a more pristine record of the planet-forming era. If a
soil sample could be obtained from the surface of an asteroid, it
could provide new clues about the fi rst stages of a solar nebula
and the raw materials that formed planets. This became the goal
of the Hayabusa mission.
More than 1500 individual particles of dust from the surface of
Itokawa were found in the capsule of Hayabusa when it returned
to Earth – the largest only 0,3 mm in size.
Detailed analysis has shown components such as olivine,
pyroxene, plagioclase and iron sulfi de were present. Researchers
now believe Itokawa was formed immediately after the birth of the
solar system 4.5 billion years ago, when celestial bodies, such as
the smaller asteroids, collided together.

The asteroid Itokawa is one of the near-earth objects orbiting between Earth
and Mars. It was discovered in 1998 and later named 25143 Itokawa after the
pioneering Japanese rocket scientist, Dr. Hideo Itokawa.
Relatively small in size, Itokawa measures only 535m x 294m x 209m and has
an irregular shape. While some parts of its surface are rough and rock-strewn,
others are smooth and more even. Analysis of the dust particles collected by
Hayabusa show they have been there for a few million years. Tests also suggest that Itokawa is probably made up of interior fragments of a larger asteroid
that broke apart.
Prominent regions on the surface of Itokawa were given place names related
to the Hayabusa project.

the VOYAGe
Hayabusa’s voyage started on 9 May 2003 when it was launched from the
Kagoshima Space Center (now known as the Uchinoura Space Center).
The spacecraft’s main engines are four ion engines with the acceleration
power as weak as a sigh, but with excellent fuel efficiency. The ion engines
worked near-continuously for two years, slowly propelling the spacecraft
toward its rendezvous with the Itokawa asteroid in mid-September 2005.
On the way, Hayabusa also experienced a gravity assist from Earth.
Hayabusa surveyed the asteroid surface from a distance of about 20 km,
before carefully approaching the surface for the collection of samples. This
was a critical moment for the mission because the long communication
delay prohibited Earth-based real-time commanding and Hayabusa had to
utilize its own autonomous navigation capabilities.
On 20 November 2005, the first attempt was made to land. However,
a sensor detected an obstacle during the autonomous navigation,
destabilizing Hayabusa’s attitude. After bounding bouncing a few times on
the surface, Hayabusa finally landed, and sat at a leaning attitude for about
30 minutes. Six days later the second landing operation was successful
as planned. However, it was revealed that no pellets to crash the surface
had been fired, but there was a probability that some dust may have been
kicked up into the sampling horn by the landing impacts.
After that, Hayabusa experienced a number of problems. A series of
communication glitches led to the control center losing all contact with
Hayabusa for six long weeks, and would eventually add three extra years to
the journey home. On the way, all but one of the four ion engines would fail
and the team had to rig parts of two of the failed engines to work together
and act as a single engine.
Through all these mishaps the scientists and engineers in the team worked
together to find creative solutions that allowed the mission to continue. On
13 June 2010, Hayabusa finally made it home - complete with its precious
cargo - ending one of the most spectacular voyages in the history of space
exploration.

A new era in space research has come. Hayabusa aimed to be
the world’s fi rst round trip to a solar object including a surface
landing. This project ushered in a new age of space exploration where samples and resources from other solar objects
can be transported back to Earth. I envision in the future that
Deep Space Ports will be constructed where spaceships can
be anchored for refueling and refurbishment before setting
off again on longer and longer journeys. Go and create new
spaceships based on the Hayabusa spacecraft.

MINeRVA ROVeR
Hayabusa carried a compact rover
called MINERVA that was only 10 cm
tall and 12 cm in diameter. MINERVA
was supposed to be the fi rst rover to
explore the surface of an asteroid.
However, it missed the surface of Ito-
kawa during the landing operation.

Hayabusa touched the surface of
Itokawa with this one meter-long
sampler horn, which guided particles
from the surface into the main body
of the spacecraft. It was constructed
using tough body-armor material
to protect the body from spray and
absorb the impact of touchdown.

FINAL shOt cAMeRA
There were three cameras onboard
Hayabusa used for both scientifi c
observations and location fi nding. Only
one was located on the side of the
main body, and this camera was used
to take a last shot of the Earth just
before re-entry to the atmosphere.

The capsule transported the
collected dust particles back to
Earth. With a diameter of 40 cm and
weighing 16 kg, it consisted of an
ablator to protect the particles from
high temperature during the re-entry,
a container to keep the sample clean,
a parachute, and a beacon-signal
transmitter.

ION eNGINe
HAYABUSA employed a new technology -
the microwave-discharge ion engine. This
engine fi rst ionizes the propellant gas,
Xenon, with microwaves then electrically
accelerates and emits the ions, to propel
itself forward. It is expected that this
highly effi cient engine will power space
exploration in the future.

I was interested in the asteroid explorer HAYABUSA fi rst from a technological perspective
but then also by the fact that Japan had achieved a world fi rst with this mission. Surprisingly,
it only took two months to complete the project. I got a lot of support and help from many
people through both Twitter and the blog, and I’d like to thank everyone who assisted
and voted for the model. The LEGO
®
HAYABUSA model that existed in the proposal image
was borrowed from the work of other user “in 81212”. I am grateful for his participation in
the project. I received the following comment from him. “HAYABUSA was one of the great
achievements to go down in history. However, all that survived from the actual HAYABUSA
spacecraft was the capsule, the rest burnt out. I wanted to bring it back and make it from
LEGO bricks.” Thanks again to everyone who has helped. I hope the HAYABUSA story will
reach an even greater number of people now.

Melody Louise Caddick, works as a LEGO® Designer
in the company’s head offi ce in Billund, Denmark.
She was given the task of transforming the
original Hayabusa model from Daisuke into one
that matched the quality and building experience
of a traditional LEGO construction set. It was an
enjoyable project, but also a challenging one:
“LEGO® CUUSOO is always exciting and fun to work
with. However, trying to recreate a real-life object
such as the Hayabusa Space Craft in LEGO bricks
can also be diffi cult. For example, with the elements
we have available, it was not possible to make the
solar panels fold together and then fold down at
the sides. We also needed to ensure stability so
that when you build and display the model, it will
maintain its shape as much as possible. I’m very
happy with the way the fi nal model has turned out”.
