On Sunday, July 5, the probe conducted the first successful laser-ranging experiment during a flyby of asteroid Torifune, the first exploration target of Hayabusa2&#8217;s Extended Mission. This latest milestone will advance the capabilities of JAXA and other space agencies as they pursue future missions involving near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and other deep-space objects.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2026-09-japan-hayabusa2-laser-ranging-asteroid.html\">Go to Source<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: <\/p>\n<div>The latest science news on astronomy, astrobiology,  and space exploration from Phys.org.<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>SPACEPERIUM CORPS &#038; RESEARCH CONTRIBUTORS<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Please comment below with research and links for fellow members to conduct further research into this area.<br \/>\nYou must be registered and signed into SPACEPERIUM BLOG in order to leave your comment and get credited!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan&#8217;s Hayabusa2 achieves first-ever laser ranging experiment with an asteroid The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency&#8217;s (JAXA) Hayabusa2 spacecraft reached another&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4024"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycbh.com\/Games\/spaceperium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
