i have come to the japanese aerospace exploration agency, jaxa, to meet the team who designed the missiony head around this bonkers mode of transport. in summary, this hops off the surface of an asteroid, it jumps about 10—15 metres into space, it stays... off the surface for about 15 minutes, and then comes back down? bounce and bounce and bounce. the images already returned by the minerva ii bots are wowing the world, but the risks they face are high. actually, so we did not have much budget, so we did not use very expensive devices. the rover hops and then bounce and bounce, so in that moment, the mechanicalfailure would happen, so something was broken. so this is a replica of hayabusa2. and, believe it or not, deploying the landers is not even the coolest thing that this is going to do, in my opinion — because this is going to land on the asteroid, take a soil sample, and then take off again. which i think is absolutely incredible. the first attempted landing is hopefully going to happen very soon — by the end of october. and then a little later, a second landing will collect more soi

the canadian space agency and nasa are among the four founding members along with issa and jaxa. the objective is to share best practices and unite effort to foster interest in space, science and technology among the student community worldwide. 13 years later the leadership in this area shown by canada, the u.s. and others, continues to make a difference in inspiring the next generation of space scientists and entrepreneurs. it's one thing to shape students' careers by giving them the skills they need for the job market of the future. you also have to inspire them to follow their dreams. that is, perhaps, one of the most powerful underlying social benefits of space exploration. our long partnership with nasa has provided ample opportunities for inspiration from scientific discoveries to technological achievements and canadians in space. we've always tried to invest in areas of canadian strengths and priorities that are valuable contributions to our partners and the international community writ large. this model has led to mission critical and visible contributions that create a
