In December 2014, Hayabusa2 started its journey to 162173 Ryugu, a C-type asteroid likely to be primordial, thereby making this a voyage in both space and time. Hayabusa2 will begin its observations upon arrival at Ryugu in 2018. It will survey the asteroid's surface features, touch down on the asteroid, form an artificial crater by shooting an impactor, and collect sample materials both on and under the surface. In 2020, Hayabusa2 will return to Earth and release a re-entry capsule carrying material from Ryugu.This book contains papers describing the scientific objectives and instrumentation on Hayabusa2 and its landing package, MASCOT. The methods and developments presented in these papers have challenged the state-of-the-art of planetary exploration. This book is indispensable to understanding the results that Hayabusa2 will bring through its in situ and sample return exploration. Originally published in Space Science Reviews, Volume 208, Issue 1-4, July 2017

This book reviews the scientific objectives and the instrumentation of the space mission BepiColombo. BepiColombo is a joint mission between ESA and JAXA, to perform a comprehensive exploration of Mercury. Launched in October 2018, the spacecraft is now en route to Mercury and is scheduled to begin orbiting in 2026. Two orbiters have been sent to Mercury and will be put into dedicated, polar orbits around the planet. The Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO, nicknamed Mio after launch) will provide the information needed to understand the planet and its environment. The scientific objectives focus on a global characterization of Mercury through the investigation of its interior, surface, exosphere, and magnetosphere. In addition, instrumentation onboard BepiColombo will also be used to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity.The book contains a comprehensive description of the mission design and its history , it describes in detail the state-of the-art instruments and their individual scientific objectives. However, the fascination of the BepiColombo mission is also the fact, that two spacecraft are operating simulatonsly in orbits around Mercury. The interplay of the two spacecraft and its instruments and its benefits for gaining knowledge about this “mysterious’ planet Mercury is also dealt within a few overview artictes on the expected science return. Previously published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection “The BepiColombo mission to Mercury"
