한층 진화 日 '하야부사2'…인류 첫 소행성 표면 뚫고 시료 확보

Also on Saturday another milestone achievement in space science was set.
This time, by Japan perhaps highlighting Asia's growing role in the sector.
Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission successfully retrieved samples from the Ryugu asteroid after spending six years in space,... and landed in an Australian desert.
It marks only the second time that materials from an asteroid have been returned to the Earth.
Eventually, scientists will open the pristine samples,... hoping to find more about the origins of the Solar System.
