SUMMARY:Tianwen-2 to Begin Collecting Samples of Asteroid Kamo’oalewa (2016 HO3)
DESCRIPTION:After arriving at Kamo’oalewa on June 7\, China asteroid sample return mission planned to collect at least 100 grams via anchoring-drilling\, hover-sampling and touch-and-go techniques; scheduled to depart Apr 24\, 2027 and return to Earth Nov 29\, 2027.

SUMMARY:Tianwen-2 Enters Orbit of Asteroid Kamo'oalewa
DESCRIPTION:Sample-return spacecraft Tianwen-2 will perform an orbit-insertion burn at asteroid 469219 Kamoʻoalewa on Sunday\, June 7\, 13 months after its launch in May 2025. It is expected to begin collecting samples early next month. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/317613/20260602/tianwen-2-asteroid-orbit-insertion-set-june-7-amateurs-decode-telemetry.htm \nKamoʻoalewa\, formally designated 2016 HO3\, was discovered in April 2016 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope operated at Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii. It is between 40 and 100 meters in diameter — roughly the size of a large building — and is the smallest asteroid ever to be visited by a spacecraft. The object occupies an unusual quasi-satellite orbit\, looping around the Sun in a path that keeps it perpetually near Earth without being gravitationally captured by our planet. That stability will last only about three centuries before gravitational perturbations shift it elsewhere. \nWhat makes Kamoʻoalewa a priority science target is its reflectance spectrum. Unlike most near-Earth asteroids\, which tend toward carbonaceous or stony compositions\, its spectrum closely resembles the lunar silicate material studied in NASA’s Apollo samples.

SUMMARY:NET April 28 - Launch Long March 10B / Unknown Payload
DESCRIPTION:Flight hazard notices were filed for a launch between April 28 and 30. This first Long March 10B vehicle has had a successful wet dress rehearsal and was rolled back to integration facilities\, likely to integrate the payload. After launch\, China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology will attempt recovery of a portion of the vehicle on an autonomous ship. \nLong March 10A and Long March 10 Moon rockets use a near-identical first stage. Long March 10 series static fire tests were completed last year with seven YF-100K engines installed. \n
