Hayabusa: Harukanaru Kikan
is a 2012 Japanese drama film directed by Tokiyuki Takimoto based on the story of the Hayabusa asteroid probe, which collected samples from the asteroid Itokawa in 2005 and returned them to Earth in 2010.

Two other films made on the same subject were Hayabusa (2011) and Welcome Home, Hayabusa (2012). Hayabusa: The Long Voyage Home emphasized the role of the people on the ground as they helped return the probe.
