On July 5, 2026, Hayabusa2 will conduct a flyby observation of the asteroid Torifune.
During the Torifune flyby, Hayabusa2 will pass the asteroid at a relative speed of about 5 km/s. Since Torifune is estimated to be about 500 meters wide, the spacecraft will pass it in just 0.1 seconds-much faster than a bullet.

And the return trip to Tokyo was made on a Shinkansen E2 series train.
Interesting facts: The tracks for the Tohoku Shinkansen are located on the 3rd basement level at Ueno Station.
When the landscape flies by!
Thank you Tohoku-Shinkasen for the quick trip to Utsunomiya!
