HORIBA TECHNO SERVICE Co., Ltd. is participating in a project as a member of the chemical analysis team for the initial analysis of samples, including sand and gravel, that the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA's) Asteroid Explorer Hayabusa2 has collected from the asteroid Ryugu. 
It is believed that Ryugu has an asteroid carrying information from the early stages of the formation of the Solar System, and also contains a plethora of organic substances and water. The analysis of the samples collected from Ryugu is expected to shed light on the origin and evolution of the solar system and life.
