Event
When Hayabusa-2 flies past Earth in December 2020, it will release the capsule spinning at one revolution per three seconds. The capsule will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at 12 km/s and it will deploy a radar-reflective parachute at an altitude of about 10 km, and eject its heat-shield, while transmitting a position beacon signal. The sample capsule will land at the Woomera Test Range in Australia.

Hayabusa-2 Sample Returns to Earth is the event record for catalog id 35.

No related launch rows are currently resolved for this catalog record.
This record is built from the Launch Library 2 public catalog cache. The page keeps provider, pad, vehicle, astronaut, event, and location records separate from launch detail pages so source-backed facts stay easy to audit.
Hayabusa-2 Sample Returns to Earth is treated as a non-launch event record. Use it for event identity, event timing, type, external references, and any linked launch context rather than as a primary launch schedule page.
This page owns the catalog record. Collection pages own browsing, launch pages own mission timing and status, and the info hub explains the wider public-data surface.
