	Hayabusa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hayabusa (はやぶさ - peregrine falcon) is an unmanned space mission led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to collect a sample of material from a small near-Earth asteroid named 25143 Itokawa (dimensions 540 meters by 270 meters by 210 meters) and return the sample to Earth for further analysis.
		Hayabusa was to deploy a small rover supplied by NASA, called Muses-CN, onto the surface of the asteroid, but the rover was cancelled by NASA in November 2000 due to budget constraints.
		On December 6, Hayabusa was 550km from Itokawa.

		Eiji Ezaki adopted the Hayabusa gimmick in 1993 at the suggestion of fellow wrestler Jushin Liger.
		Hayabusa was considered the heart and soul of FMW, and after his departure FMW slowly folded.
		Hayabusa is now capable of moving his arms and legs, and walks using a cane.

	About HAYABUSA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		It is scheduled to reach its destination and collect samples in the summer of 2005, returning to Earth a year and a half later, in 2007, with the first-ever samples collected from an asteroid.
		HAYABUSA is the first long-distance interplanetary probe to use an ion engine as its main propulsion device.
		Therefore, HAYABUSA is designed to pilot itself: to use the on-board camera and laser to read the asteroid's geography and judge when to approach it and where to land.

	Universe Today - Hayabusa Probably Didn't Get a Sample After All
		Hayabusa is severely damaged, and will attempt to make the return journey to Earth, but managers aren't optimistic about its chances.
		As has been reported, it is estimated that part of a series of attitude and orbit control commands to restore the Hayabusa from its safe-hold mode have not gone well, and the functions of its major systems, including its attitude and communication network, have significantly deteriorated.
		As of Dec. 6, the distance between the Hayabusa and the Itokawa is about 550 kilometers, and that from the earth is about 290 million kilometers.

	Hayabusa
		The primary scientific objective of the Hayabusa (formerly Muses-C) mission was to collect a surface sample of material from an asteroid (25143 Itokawa/1998 SF36) and return the sample to Earth for analysis.
		Hayabusa was to initially survey the asteroid surface for about three months from a distance of about 20 km.
		Hayabusa was propelled during cruise phases by two microwave ion thruster engines, which used a microwave discharge to ionize xenon gas.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| Fate of Japan's troubled asteroid probe uncertain
		Japanese officials are struggling to fix a horde of problems plaguing the Hayabusa space mission in time to begin its journey back to Earth with or without a package of specimens that were supposed to have been collected from the surface of asteroid Itokawa late last month.
		Hayabusa had earlier gone into safe mode last month, but officials worked several days to finally recover the probe to set up a pair of sampling attempts in the succeeding weeks.
		This caused the instruments aboard Hayabusa to shut off, and controllers were then faced with the prospect of slowly restarting the systems one by one, lengthening the time it would take to downlink data that could explain that events that transpired to create the sticky situation, which officials continue to portray as not being optimistic.

	Holy Hayabusa!: We Ride the 2000 Model
		Below 6,500 rpm, the Hayabusa is a very torquey, very fast motorcycle, but it generally keeps the front wheel planted and smoothly thrusts you forward at the desired velocity (just dial on as much as you want).
		At the same time, the Hayabusa is far nimbler handling than most pure sport tourers (with the exception of the lighter sport tourers, such as Honda's VFR 800 Interceptor).
		As far as handling is concerned, as long as you compare the Hayabusa to other bikes of similar size and heft, the handling is excellent.

	Hayabusa's Bio
		Hayabusa would turn down the offer to remain loyal with FMW, and although he would stopped being booked by AAA, he would be earning $500 a week guaranteed by FMW before FMW would make a deal with EMLL to start booking Hayabusa for their shows.
		Hayabusa would take all of Matsunaga's kicks and maneuvers, but would be able to kick out at every pinfall attempt, but Hayabusa would manage to fight back and deliver a Shooting Star Press to Matsunaga to score the victory, and earn the right to fight The Gladiator for the vacant FMW Brass Knuckles Title.
		Hayabusa this time would manage to finally put away Oya as he would successfully defend the FMW Double Titles with the Falcon Arrow as it would be the first time Hayabusa was able to defeat Oya in a singles match since winning the FMW Brass Knuckles Title on June 26, 1995 against Oya.

		A key element of the Formula Hayabusa spec series is affordability, so even though the car looks like a little Formula 1 racer, it borrows freely from Suzuki's car and motorcycle parts bins to keep cost under control.
		Let's hope the Formula Hayabusa series comes to America; the car would be a fine training ride for a developing young racer, or a fabulous toy for older club racers who want an open wheel car instead of a door-slammer.
