Japan lands robot after 2 rovers on same asteroid in 10 days
A Japanese probe successfully landed a new observation robot, MASCOT, 10 days after two rovers were deployed on the same asteroid Ryugu, 300 million km away from the Earth. The 10-kilogram box-shaped MASCOT has many sensors. It can take images at multiple wavelengths, investigate minerals with a microscope, gauge surface temperatures and measure magnetic fields.
