PROCYON (Proximate Object Close flyby with Optical Navigation) was an asteroid flyby space probe that was launched together with Hayabusa2 on 4 December 2014 13:22:04 (JST). It was developed by University of Tokyo and JAXA.

It was a small (70kg, approx. 60 cm cube), low cost ({{JPY|500 million|link=yes}}) spacecraft.[1]

It was intended to flyby the asteroid {{mpl|185851|2000 DP|107}} in 2016,[2] but the plan was abandoned due to the malfunction of the ion thruster.[1]

Mission overview

PROCYON was launched as secondary payload together with the Hayabusa2 asteroid landing probe. After separation from the carrier rocket, PROCYON was left on a heliocentric orbit. On February 22, 2015, the ion engine was started, with the intention of adjusting the orbit so that an Earth flyby in December 2015 would direct the probe towards asteroid {{mp|2000 DP|107}}.[3] Initial results were favourable - the engine delivered 330 µN of thrust rather than the designed 250 µN - but the engine failed on March 10 and could not be restarted; PROCYON flew past Earth on December 3, 2015, but was unable to make a controlled orbit change. Shortly after the Earth flyby, contact with the spacecraft was lost.[4]

The 70 kg spacecraft had a specific impulse of 1000 seconds, for a delta-V budget of about 500 ms−1; the intention was to use 20% of the xenon propellant for the initial orbit correction, and the rest of the propellant between the Earth flyby and the asteroid flyby to ensure a controlled flyby distance of 30 km.[5]

A novel subsystem tested by PROCYON involved feeding both the main ion engine and the eight cold-gas attitude control thrusters from the same tank (containing 2.5 kg of xenon at launch)

Instruments

  • Small telescope for near-asteroid navigation and data acquisition.
  • Lyman-alpha imaging camera to observe geocorona[6]

Science results

PROCYON observed the Lyman-alpha emission of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko to determine its overall coma structure.[7]
