Asteroid samples under our customer's instruments

Created on Monday, 23 October 2023 13:36

Following the European Hera mission to the binary asteroid Didymos and the US OSIRIS-REx project, we have now made a small contribution to the research on samples from the asteroid Ryugu, which were brought back to Earth by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa 2 (はやぶさ2) in 2020.

The samples were examined under the TESCAN AMBER X a LYRA3 electron microscopes, for which we produced a number of mechanical components.
