I'm an asteroid lander. On 3 October 2018 I was released from @haya2kun and landed on Ryugu. #AsteroidLanding

地球上のどことも違うその場所で、ぼくは目覚めた。まわりの全てが、驚きと未知と、危険な香りに満ちている。やった、リュウグウに着いたんだ!#Asteroidlanding dlr.de/dlr/presse/en/…

Hello #Earth, hello haya2kun! I promised to send you some pictures of #Ryugu so here’s a shot I took during my descent. Can you spot my shadow? #AsteroidLanding

Wow! Ryugu is so dark that I had trouble orienting myself. I had to use my swing arm to relocate so I could continue collecting scientific data... Much better now! #AsteroidLanding

I’ve been on asteroid Ryugu for a little over 12 hours conducting experiments non-stop! Now I’m working with MicrOmega and MARA! #AsteroidLanding

All done with work! Oh my... can that be right? I explored Ryugu for more than 17 hours. That is more than my team expected. Do I get paid overtime for this? #asteroidlanding

And during this extra time, I also made another hop and explored part of a third asteroid day! But the best thing is: I sent ALL the data I collected to haya2kun! Now team, it's up to YOU to understand Ryugu. #AsteroidLanding

So glad to finally be home, at asteroid #Ryugu! Here’s another picture that I took while I was landing - between 10 and 20 metres from the surface! What a place! It’s out of this world, don’t you think? #AsteroidLanding #hayabusa2
