Dear all,

It’s my great pleasure to let you know that ISAS/JAXA has issued the new international announcement of opportunity for Hayabusa- returned sample analysis.

Everybody who intends to gain a new insight in planetary science via Hayabusa sample analysis is welcome to submit a proposal in response to the new AO.

Please find the details of the new AO, including the guidebook for proposers, the list of previously accepted proposals and the sample catalog that describes the properties of the samples available, at the following web-site: http://hayabusaao.isas.jaxa.jp/5th/

Proposals are acceptable for anytime.

It will take around a month for their selection processes.

We are looking forward to accepting exciting proposals from you!

Sincerely,

Toru Yada,
