- Hayabusa2 completed the first goal of its extended mission by performing a close flyby of asteroid 98943 Torifune.
- The spacecraft sped past the 450-meter-wide space rock at around five kilometers per second on July 5, maintaining an 800-meter distance.
- JAXA considers study of Torifune important for planetary defense since its orbit intersects that of Earth.
- Plans include a Mars moon sample return mission targeting Phobos with sample retrieval expected by 2031.
