MASCOT descending
MASCOT descending Three images taken by Hayabusa2's wide-angle navigation camera capture MASCOT falling toward Ryugu immediately after separation. The lander separated at 01:57:20 on 3 October, UTC; these images were taken 34, 44, and 54 seconds later. The images have been aligned and cropped to emphasize the motion of the lander.
