Scientific paper

The MUSES-C was launched on May 9th of 2003 and was named 'Hayabusa'. It takes an aim at the world's first sample and return from a near Earth asteroid, 1998 SF36 now renamed "Itokawa". The spacecraft is a kind of technology demonstrator with four key technologies. The paper presents a quick report on the initial operation of the ion engines aboard and will show how the attitude control has been performed incorporating the closed loop de-saturation function onboard. The paper also presents how much delta-V has been applied to the spacecraft as well as how the orbit determination under the low-thrust acceleration has been performed.
