- Hayabusa may have left Ryugu, but the science continues to be revealed as the data is analysed, of interest today is the results of the impactor experiment which finally published the images of the explosion and crater formation from the deployable camera. The impact of the 2kg projectile blew a wide hole in the space rock, throwing tons of regolith into space
The results of the experiment were published in Science in March 2020

"What Happens When You Shoot An Asteroid With An 'Anti-Tank Weapon'"?
The answer is real simple... there will be no more tanks on the asteroid.
And it works, I haven't seen any tank left on these images
@@trezapoioiuy : Just a lucky shot, if we want to be certain with the next one then we'll want to bring reloads.
To keep keepin'em away, intermittent use of anti-tank spray is recommended
@@infinidominion Ah yes... Good old CFC free tank-a-way.
@@sprinkhole58 not to break the joke, but the image in my head that this invokes is... Something else.
'imagines tanks flipping over and lying with their treads in the air like dead bugs as they run into the spray'
Diverts trajectory by 1/1000000 of a degree, Ryugu @ 450 tons hits earth next pass.
Onigiri is a Japanese snack made from rice and some seasoning. It is a rice ball shaped like an oval so I think they chose the name Onigiri crater because it reminded them of the snack xD
It appears if the shaped charge is spin stabilized. HESH (high explosive squash head) was developed because of the effects rifling (spin) had on shaped charge post detonation. The spin broke up the “stream” of forces. Was this in ant way a consideration for this mission?
This wasn't spinning all that fast compared to the spin something gets from a rifled tank barrel. Also, I think it is highly likely that this was an Explosively Formed Penetrator not just your ordinary shaped charge.
EFP warheads have a considerably larger stand-off distance (up to 10s of meters instead of just a few centimeters), important when you don't want to find bits of the thing that carried the warhead in your sample collector.

It fascinates me how many single independent objects this mission consists of: The main probe, 3 (!) Rovers, MASCOT, the impactor, a deployable camera to film it, multiple target markes. This is not a space probe, this is an invasion fleet! Did I forget anything ?
Plot twist. That " astroid " never left earth.

These images impress me every single time I see them. That's an actual photo of a deep space object, in such incredible detail and resolution. You really get a sense of what it would be like to stand there and look out from the surface of an asteroid. Humans are so clever when we're not trying to kill each other
[SAW]Spitfire it would be very lonely 😂

Onigiri doesn't translate to large rock.
I guess, whoever named it, was hungry ;D
Well, onigiri _is_ larger than maki, isn't it, and a boulder is hardly a rice ball...
lol or just that it kinda had an onigiri shape :p
I prefer the term “jelly filled doughnuts”
It kinda looks like an onigiri if you squint...
The whole asteroid looks like an onigiri tho
They would have lost their minds if that giant space rock broke into pieces like the game!😂😂
I would have looked really cool tho
I was hoping for a star wars type space eel
@@thomasm9384 giant space eel shoots up and eats the explosive charge before it can impact the surface
And also wake up the octopus and rape the spacecraft.
@@Ar-fy5nc then hayabusha shots the fucking space Octopus with an anti tank explosive
5:54 Scott, none of those words translate into the english name. In fact the large boulder was named Onigiri boulder because it looks like an onigiri (a rice ball). The other two seem like family names, but I'm not really sure.
They are. Okamoto and Iijima boulders were both named after scientists who made valuable contributions to the Japanese Space Program (JAXA) or the Hayabusa program, and who have passed away since.
Omusubi is another word for onigiri. "Kororin" is onomatopoeia for something small rolling over.
So, onigiri does translate into English (rice ball)

Like the Onion, Kerbal is becoming reality.
I missed the IRL unmanned rendezvous with that decommissioned satellite. It's something I would do in KSP, so I was surprised that it's already been done in real life.

Onion? You mean BablyonBee
“A GTFO maneuver” XD that should be an official button at SpaceX.. or Kerbal
GTFO button, "use at your own risk" type.
That got me laughing, well done Scott. xD
There really is such a button on the ISS. Astronauts observe approaching SpaceX Dragon capsules and, if they think the capsule is out of control and has a possibility of hitting the ISS, they press a button that signals the capsule to abort it's approach and retreat to a safe position. I saw an interview somewhere where a SpaceX person said that the software routine the button triggers "...may or may not be called The GTFO Maneuver"
@@beardymart906 there is also a software routine on the falcon 9 and falcon heavy rockets that is at least inofficially referred to as a GTFO maneuver. (i don't know if it has an official name).
When the rocket is on it's final approach to landing on a drone ship and then realises that for whatever reason the landing will fail, the engines are set to full throttle and the rocket tries to fly away from the ship as far as possible in order not to damage it.
Happened on the center core of the 3rd falcon heavy flight.
Hayabusa 2, the probe that keeps on giving
free spirit 1 once the return spacecraft gets back it will give it’s biggest gift
Holy shit! that is some amazing engineering! From the images, I thought the crater is maybe 0.5 meter in diameter. And then he sais the radius is about 7m! It is so weird how you cannot tell the scale of things on the surface.
It really is such a strange concept and is hard to imagine.
Knowing the distance, angle, and focal length of the camera; and measuring the angular size of objects on the photo; allows you to calculate their sizes.
They forgot to carry a banana for scale.
Yeah it's bizarre, fascinating too.
Everything is relative to the observer. If there is nothing there for us to "relate to" ofc we'll get confoozled.
Meh... waiting for asteroid drilling and underground nuclear explosions. Preferably, conducted by Bruce Willis.
Well it will be performed by an expendable crew of working class nobodies.
While I appreciate the movie reference, an underground nuclear explosion would make this asteroid no longer exist, or at least it would greatly reduce it's mass. Nukes move a LOT of rock.
If you do have to use a nuke against such a "rubble pile" asteroid, the best way is an "air-burst" detonation (I know, there's no air in space, but it conveys the point). This will vaporize rock on one side of the asteroid, which imparts a force on the asteroid, which changes its orbit, hopefully to one that doesn't intersect the earth.
@@44R0Ndin thats what i expected from this video, in theory i mean, but i left disappointed :/
No tanks detected after - mission accomplished.

Wow. Hat’s off to the Japanese Space Agency for doing such a brilliant job. I am hugely impressed at what they achieved.
Beautifully digestible report, Scott.
What a great mission to Ryugu that was.
Thank you, Japan. 🇯🇵
01:09 a GTFO maneuver...You are hilarious
when I read the title my first brain fart thought was: Whey does the astroid have an anti tank weapon?
To destroy invasive probes that might be lurking about

@@FredPlanatia this is just a scratch.
@@Ar-fy5nc You need at least a million of these antitank weapons.
Now, the question is: Did Hayabusa issue a formal declaration before shooting this thing, or is it like 1941 all over again? ;)
I'm confused about why this mission isn't that known right now. This mission is a HUGE achievement!
They didn't attempt to shoot an asteroid, the damn well did shoot an asteroid. Do or do not, there is no attempt
Im gonna have to play a game of asteroids to tribute this

Congratulations to JAXA for pulling this off. Keeping my fingers crossed for the sample return portion of the mission. I wish NASA would ditch the Artemis program and focus on sending astronauts to an asteroid. I think it would be so much more interesting.
I don't believe any asteroids are in convenient orbits.
Asteroid gravity is very low. Accidentally floating away would be a huge issue
"we found oil on the asteroid"
*USA PUMPS ALL MONEY INTO ROCKETRY AND SPACE EXPLORATION*
"... i thought oil could only form on planets with life...?"
"SHHH... we got them going... that all we needed"
There are valuable minerals on asteroids.
@@happygimp0 we all just waiting for huge deposite find of lithium and we can forget small bugs like SARS-CoV-2 and behold: Phoebe bug.
Titan is filled with lakes of oil, even without life there
There was a theory put forward that fossil fuels were made by bacteria..
It's predicted that the first person/company to retrieve an asteroid for mineral mining is likely to become the worlds first trillionaire, oil is not going to be part of that.

Its going to hit us at the end of the year
@@charadremur333 That would require a very large amount of thrust and fuel from it... let's hope it is not an alien deathprobe inside.
So you’re telling me the movie “Armageddon“ would not workout in real life
"Armagedon"? No, if we wanted to use nukes for that in real life then we'd shove it in the middle of a really flimsy flashlight reflector, and point it at the asteroid. All the effect of an Orion Nuclear Pusher Plate Drive, no need to keep it in one piece...
The question "What Happens When You Shoot An Asteroid With An Anti Tank Gun" sounds so american lol
we need to know what it takes to push an asteroid away
Just nuke it far enough away so that it's just a bunch of small rocks and most of them won't even hit. Now Psyche on the other hand, THAT is going to be an interesting mission.
Too Much...
Some SRB if we want speed, but better would be using nuclear powered spacecraft.
Well, if this asteroid turns out to be indicative of how most asteroids are, the best method is probably a gravity tractor or a really big sack on a hook behind your rocket.
@@_mikolaj_ We don't even know if we put something on the surface and induce thrust if it would just push into the asteroid and go all the way through. It's just a loose pile of rocks.

Oh yeah boy soon we are gonna be shooting asteroids as a sport
OoPs, tHaT’s nOt a tAnk
And with the projectile going at 2 km/s (2000 m/s), That's one heck of an anti-tank weapon :)
@@akshaygowrishankar7440 shaped charges were common anti tank weapons until ERA and composite armor rendered them ineffective.
a 2 kg copper plate at 2000 m/s is a substantial shaped charge... for comparison the heaviest grenade for a RPG 7 totals at 4.5kg and that includes all the stuff around the copper penetrator including 1.43 kg of explosive charge. i would imagine that this has a way larger explosive charge
Hey Scott, there was supposed to be a mission to grab a piece of rock from an asteroid and relocate it to be orbiting the moon so it could be studied for mining (and also relocating an asteroid or a piece of it would be a great accomplishment because it could be the start for a different approach to asteroid defenses). Do you know what happened to that mission? Is it still on? Was it delayed? Thanks!
Asteroid redirect mission sadly was cancelled.
That got cancelled for the Lunar Gateway.
I don't think those Japanese nicknames mean the same thing as the English nicknames. Onigiri is a rice-ball. Okamoto is a common last name. Iijima is another common last name inwhich the "ii" seems to come from an old word for "cooked grains, especially rice". Omusubi also seems to mean rice-ball. Kororin might be something related to rolling. I'm really not sure, but it really doesn't look like they have anything to do with the English names from what I can look up.
Lol, would that stuff shooting out of it be "Asteriod Ejectulate"
Ah yes, a man of wisdom we have here
Would it be possible to terraform Mars by haveing big asteroids impacting it ? Meny people said stuff like nuke mars to terraform it
Wasnt the asteroild that ended the dinosours around 70 km diameter and had abaut twice the impact force the entire worldwide nuclear arsenal at peak nuke count would have had while not releasing isotopes and ionizing Radiation ?
4:16 So we shot it and it gave us the finger.
I hope humanity has learned it's lesson.
LOL!

Sadly we didn't learn from Spanish Flu, Ebola, or COVID-19 so I doubt anyone cares.

Your best and most interesting video (for me) yet! Well done - again.
Hello Mr. Manley. I dont understand the Apollo 13 hack u showed us last time. Where does the round air filter go? does it connect to the hose that goes to the square filter?
The round LM air filter doesn't go anywhere in the hacked version, because it's effectively "used up." Part of the hack involved switching the air system from using the round filters, to drawing air through the suit hose connected to the hacked filter.
Mission report: riceball boulder
Scott: *large boulder*
Asteroids and anti-tank weapons. Something tells me that some Japanese scientists and engineers were arcade game fans back in the day.
The Earth is demonstrably level.
Great video Scott! you should think about putting a watermark on your videos, don't want anyone else ripping off your hardwork!
Dinosaurs: *How do you like it?!*
Why are there boulders at all on the surface?
That image of the nav markers looks more like a single long exposure with a single marker's pulsing light falling away from the craft. But I suppose they could have done a composite image from a series of quick exposures instead.
If you leave the shutter open in total darkness and then burst the flash at regular intervals (or use a strobe light), you get multiple images like this. You can try it at home at night, or in your basement, with a digital camera and a hand-held flash. Set the shutter to bulb and get someone to move about the room (in the camera's field of view) while you fire the flash a few times.
Those photos are phenomenal. I honestly can't wait to see what we learn from the sample returns!! This is so exciting!! 🤯😁

What is an AGTFO maneuver?
Very interesting - thanks.
This has been one of my favorite missions to follow. I can't wait to see what they find out from the return samples. Imagine what that would be like... To hold in your (glove boxed) hands dirt that came from an asteroid thousands of miles from Earth.
I would rather not, imagine if you somehow screwed it up and contaminated the priceless sample...
Now we mined asteroids for the first time.., such an accomplishment
