Laboratory Analysis of Returned Samples Proposals for Hayabusa2 Starting February 13, 2022

C.16 Laboratory Analysis of Returned Samples (LARS) solicits (among other things) proposals to conduct analytical studies of astromaterials already returned by planetary missions. Samples must be publicly available at least 30 days prior to the submission of a LARS proposal.

Previously, LARS mentioned that Hayabusa2 (H2) samples would soon be available. JAXA has now published its first catalog of H2 samples returned from asteroid Ryugu available for allocation. Proposals to study these H2 samples may be submitted to C.16 LARS in ROSES-2021 starting on February 13, 2022, or to LARS-2022 after the release of ROSES-2022 on February 14, 2022.

Questions regarding C.16 LARS in general, or this clarification in particular, may be directed to: HQ-LARS@mail.nasa.gov

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
