Hayabusa Probe Prepares for Second Touchdown Attempt
Japan's Hayabusa spacecraft will make another attempt to touch down on asteroid Itokawa on Friday, in a bid to collect the first ever samples of such an object.
The Hayabusa probe, which successfully touched down on the asteroid last Sunday but failed to collect material as planned, is set to try again at 2200 GMT on Friday, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
