Japan Develops Ostrich 2 Detector to Explore the Origin of Life
 |
The Japan Aerospace Exploration and Development Agency (JAXA) recently stated that the agency has begun work on the development of the "Starling 2". This is the follow-up model of the "Earthbird" and is expected to launch in 2014. Japan intends to continue its exploration of the origin of life through observations of asteroids.
The "Earthbird" is an asteroid exploration program of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The main purpose of this project is to send the ostrich detector to the Asteroids of the Mitsui River, collect asteroid samples and send the collected samples back to Earth.
The "Starling" was successfully launched on the MV carrier rocket on May 9, 2003. Under the remote control of the ground command and control center, it galloped along the planned orbit of the orbit of the orbit of the outer globe and orbit of the Aotokawa Asteroids orbital orbit, and met with the target celestial body at the beginning of September 2005, and finally on September 12th. It arrived at a preset position 20 kilometers away from the Asteroids of the Silk River and became an artificial satellite. On June 13, 2010, the "Early Bird" landed in Australia late at night.
The "Earthbird" traveled in the universe for seven years and crossed about 6 billion kilometers. The significance of this is that this is the first time that humans have conducted research on the collection of asteroids that threaten the Earth, and it is also the first task to bring asteroid materials back to Earth. In order to continue to expand the results of this world-first asteroid sampling, Japan decided in August 2010 to continue the development of follow-up models for the origin of life detectors.
"Earth 2" plans to reach the asteroid "1999JU3", which is about 300 million kilometers away from Earth, in 2018, and then samples such as micro-particles and returns to Earth at the end of 2020. It is said that there are a large number of minerals containing carbon and water on the asteroid, which will help to understand the origin of life in the solar system.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration and Development Agency plans to complete the assembly of the main parts of the "Earth 2" during the year to realize the energization of the solar panels and complete the pre-launch performance tests. It is reported that the development cost of "Emstar 2" is approximately 16.2 billion yen. (Reporter: Sun Hao)
