HINODE HITOMI
ASTRO-H X-ray Observatory
The ASTRO-H Hitomi was the result of close collaboration between NASA, JAXA and other countries from its initial concept throughout its construction.
Hitomi Launched in 17 Feb. 2016
Hitomi SXS In-flight calibration 4.6eV FWHM at 6keV 50mK achieved by the cryogenic system
Cryogenic soft X-ray spectrometer was in perfect shape until the moment when communication to the spacecraft was lost (Mar 26)

Hitomi mishap
• JAXA declared the shutdown of Hitomi on April 28, before achieving regular operations for science. This deeply disappointed the astrophysics community in the world, particularly people who have been involved in the development of the instruments aboard Hitomi over the years.
• We were able to obtain SXS data of the Perseus cluster in the initial operation phase, which is a stunning demonstration for the in-orbit performance of the X-ray micro-calorimeter developed by NASA/GSFC.
• ISAS, ISAS ASTRO-H project, primary contractor (NEC) and Japanese X-ray astronomy community are deeply aware of responsibility for the disaster. 8
Anomaly investigation and recovery of the mission
• The anomaly is due to two different design-problems and one improper operation procedure all related to the Hitomi’s attitude control/safe-hold system.
• Technical culprit was identified and deeper cause of the problems including sociological factors were analyzed in the JAXA report to GOJ. All findings are open to public.
• My priorities have been (1) to fix the problems in our system that led to the mishap, (2) to recover the Hitomi science with SXS with NASA, and (3) to maintain the strong partnership with NASA and other agencies. 9

MMX JAXA’s exploration of the two moons of Mars with sample return from Phobos
MMX JAXA’s exploration of the two moons of Mars with sample return from Phobos
JAXA’s mission to the Martian moons (MMX) will make close-up remote
sensing and insitu observations of both moons, and return samples from Phobos.
MMX Mars at the outer-edge of the rocky planet region of the solar system
Rocky planets
Mars The location of the snow line
Gas giants, icy planets
The big question to be addressed with MMX
• Delivery of water, volatiles, organic compounds etc. from outside the snow line to entitle the rocky planet region to be habitable
• Small bodies as delivery capsules • Dynamics of small bodies around the snow line in the early solar
system • Mars at the gateway position to witness the process
Comet (ice) Primodal asteroid (Hydrous mineral)
- Two leading hypotheses, unsettled controversy. - Revealing the origin would lead to better understanding of
the behavior of small bodies around the snow line in the early solar system.
MMX Enigmatic origin of the Martian moons
Phobos samples are mixture of Mars materials and impactor materials: Mars sample return realized! We do learn about dynamics of the impactor.
Phobos sample analysis characterizes a capsule that was on its way to deliver water and organic compounds to the inner-solar system.
Mars sample return: When debris from the Mars surface found, we will be able to read-out the history of the Martian surface environment.
SPICA – Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics
• SPICA is optimized for mid- and far-IR astronomy. • SPICA unveils the “dusty era” in the Universe (evolution of
galaxies), and finds a route to habitable planets (formation of planetary systems).
• SPICA is launched at ambient temperature, and cooled down in space. The cryo-cooler system is a key heritage of JAXA ASTRO-H.
• To be proposed to the ESA M5 slot as an ESA-led mission.
