Japanese spacecraft that landed in Australia after a journey to the asteroid during the seven years, bringing back the capsule contains a unique dust.As reported by Yahoo News, Hayabusa plane has made a stunning impression in Australia, prior to landing in the desert at midnight local time, where the ending journey to asteroids near Earth that began in 2003.
A spokesman for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said the capsule had survived the asteroid that brought back to earth.
Hayabusa means falcon in Japanese landed in irregularly shaped asteroid in 2005. And the scientists took small samples of the asteroid material.
If successful, it will be the first spacecraft to successfully bring back samples to earth, apart from the moon.
The scientists hope to unlock secrets of solar system formation and explain the impact of an asteroid toward Earth.
Paul Abell NASA scientists who monitor the process of returning the aircraft is said Hayabusa fairly significant effect on the defense of the planet, given the impact of an asteroid estimated to have cut off the dinosaurs.
Understanding the physical characteristics of asteroids near the Earth can be useful as a way to understand something that will come to earth in the future, she said.
As part of the solar system, asteroids Abell add can help us to understand the formation of life.
"This is a significant event," he said.
