Subsurface exploration is one of the most ambitious scientific objectives of the Hayabusa2 mission.A small device called small carry-on impactor(SCI)was developed to create an artificial crater on the surface of asteroid *** enables us to sample subsurface materials,which will provide a window to the *** physical properties of the resulting crater are also useful for understanding the internal structure of *** understanding of the crater and ejecta properties,including the depth of excavation of subsurface materials,requires accurate information on impact *** particular,the impact angle is a critical factor because it greatly influences the size and shape of the *** April 5,2019,the Hayabusa2 spacecraft deployed the SCI at 500 m of altitude above the asteroid *** SCI gradually reduced its altitude,and it shot a 2 kg copper projectile into the asteroid 40 min after *** the position of the released SCI is essential for determining the impact *** study describes the motion reconstruction of the SCI based on the actual operation *** results indicate that the SCI was released with high accuracy.
