ここ見るとカプセルの大気圏突入はNASAも注目しているらしいね。

「The return of Hayabusa provides NASA and JAXA with a rare opportunity
to monitor the performance of an atmospheric entry vehicle at speeds
much higher than that of the space shuttle returning from low-Earth orbit」
今回は大気圏突入速度がかなり速いらしいが、カプセルは大丈夫かな・・・。
「Since the breakup of the main spacecraft will be visible as well,
scientists will use images of the debris to validate computer models
astronomers use to predict how an object will fragment and disperse
as it enters Earth’s atmosphere at these high speeds.」
はやぶさの最期もムダでは無いよ(´;ω;`)
