Japan lands 2 rovers on an asteroid 300 million km away
Japan successfully landed a pair of robot rovers on an asteroid 300 million km away from the Earth, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said on Saturday. The round, tin-shaped robots reached the Ryugu asteroid a day after they were released from the Hayabusa2 probe, JAXA said. The rovers are functional and have started surveying Ryugu's surface, the agency added.
