Comment Re:Actually, Hayabusa had landed successfully (Score 1) 86

There is a page of all the technical details, such as the trajectory in the inertial frame and the astroid frame, the Doppler-measured velocity and the integrated distance, laser distance meter, etc. These data clearly indicate that Hayabusa landed on the asteroid, bounced two times, and sat there for 30 minites, and it left the asteroid. It is the first spacecraft that succeeded in landing on a extraterrestrial object other than the moon and leaving it.
