JAXA loses Minerva
The 600-gram Minerva "baby robot", which was supposed to land on the asteroid Itokawa in advance of the landing of the Hayabusa probe, was lost before it was able to land on the asteroid. The Minerva robot drifted away from the surface of Itokawa after being released by Hayabusa.
