After a mission of over seven years filled with operational challenges, the Hayabusa spacecraft finally returned to earth as a fireball in the Australian night sky following the successful separation of the re-entry capsule.
The JAXA team received a beacon from the capsule and have been able to confirm it's location visually within the WPA. Recovery efforts will continue today as will the search for the heat shield.
