Performance of Li-CFx Cells Installed in Earth Re-entry Capsule of Interplanetary Spacecraft ‘HAYABUSA’

The interplanetary spacecraft HAYABUSA returned to Earth on June 13, 2010, and a capsule containing an asteroid sample was released. The capsule deployed a parachute and transmitted a beacon signal indicating its position. The ground facilities successfully detected the beacon and determined the lan...
