Japanese rovers send first video from asteroid 280mn km away
Two Japanese robots have sent back first-ever video images from an asteroid 280 million km away. Japanese space agency (JAXA) released a 15-frame clip days after Hayabusa2 spacecraft deployed the rovers on asteroid Ryugu's surface after a 3.5-year journey. Aimed at understanding the origins of the solar system, the mission will return with samples to Earth in 2020, JAXA said.
