Scope
The Hayabusa Symposium 2025 brings together researchers studying extraterrestrial samples, focusing on Hayabusa, Hayabusa2, OSIRIS-REx, and upcoming missions like MMX. With Ryugu and Bennu samples now distributed to the global scientific community, this symposium will explore cutting-edge research and foster collaboration.
In addition, related studies with the results from remote-sensing, surface measurements, ground observations, and numerical studies should be comparatively discussed. The other regular topics on any extraterrestrial materials and primitive bodies in the Solar System by theoretical, observational, and experimental studies, new methodology of analysis, and future space missions are highly welcomed!
