According to news from the Japanese side on the 2nd, the last working engine of Japan's “Hayabusa 2” asteroid probe, which has been out of service, is currently also malfunctioning. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is preparing to use a “cross-run” method to enable the probe to continue its mission. On the 2nd, the Japanese side quoted information from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency as saying that the “Hayabusa 2” was equipped with 4 ion engines. Previously, 3 had failed, and only 1 unit was operating normally, and this B engine also showed up in mid-August this year. The agency tried to recover, but the engine failed to start. The ion engine is mainly composed of two parts: an ion propeller and a neutralizer. Only when both work at the same time can drive the detector to sail normally.
