HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa

.@MASCOT2018 Yes @MASCOT2018, it is! #Hayabusa2

MASCOT Lander @MASCOT2018

.@haya2e_jaxa But I thought we were going to Asteroid 1999JU3... Why are we going back home? #Hayabusa2

HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa

.@MASCOT2018 We are only going to swing by Earth to gain some momentum and enter the orbit that will take us to the asteroid. #Hayabusa2

MASCOT Lander @MASCOT2018

Ok, I understand @haya2e_jaxa ! And how close will we get to Earth? Will you take pictures? #Hayabusa2

HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa

.@MASCOT2018 Just 3090 km. And yes, I will try to take pictures of the earth. #Hayabusa2

MASCOT Lander @MASCOT2018

Wow, that’s close @haya2e_jaxa! Less than one day to go! How exciting! #Hayabusa2 #earthflyby

HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa

.@MASCOT2018 Yes, very exciting! By the way @MASCOT2018, the asteroid is now called Ryugu. #Hayabusa2

MASCOT Lander @MASCOT2018

That’s right! You’d told me. I really like it @haya2e_jaxa. Ryugu, like the undersea palace of Ryūjin, the dragon god of the sea? #Hayabusa2

HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa

.@MASCOT2018 Yes, @MASCOT2018, you are right. This palace comes from a very well known fairy tale in Japan called Urashima Taro. #Hayabusa2

MASCOT Lander @MASCOT2018

Right! Urashima Taro brought back a casket from Ryugu castle and you @haya2e_jaxa will bring a capsule with samples back to Earth #Hayabusa2

HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa

.@MASCOT2018 You know quite well, @MASCOT2018. I think it’s time to get some rest, tomorrow is a busy day! #Hayabusa2

MASCOT Lander @MASCOT2018

Oyasumi, @haya2e_jaxa. Talk to you tomorrow! #Hayabusa2
