Hayabusa Re-entry Capsule

We designed and manufactured the re-entry capsule for the asteroid probe "Hayabusa," which was developed by the JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science and returned to Earth on June 13, 2010. The capsule entered the atmosphere at a speed of 12 km/s, protected from harsh temperatures by thermal protection materials, and safely delivered samples from the asteroid Itokawa to Earth.
