The Cosmic Companion VIP Newsletter June 1, 2020 (one day late)

An interview with Seiji Sigita of the University of Tokyo, talking about the Hyabusa2 mission to the asteroid Ryugu. Plus, the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket with two astronauts headed to the ISS.

Hello everyone:

First, my apologies for being a day late delivering your newsletter this week. Several technical difficulties struck in a row, pushing every aspect of video production back. I’d also like to apologize for the quality of the news video, which is not up to the usual standards. We’re working to have everything fixed by next week, then (following a two-week hiatus to move), we will come back, from our new, full-time, dedicated studio.

In a special interview from Japan, we talk to Professor Seiji Sugita from the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of Tokyo, researcher on the Hayabusa2 mission currently exploring the asteroid Ryugu.
