• The second touchdown will be done inside or near the artificial crater created by SCI. (Final decision will be made after SCI operation whether or not to actually perform the second try.)
• There is a high probability that a third touchdown will not be done.
※ Reason for choosing to give priority to experiments with collision equipment
• It was judged that sample was sufficiently collected with the first touchdown.
• There is a case in which the amount of light received by some of the optical systems of the bottom surface has decreased due to the first touchdown. There is no problem with normal operation, but a careful preliminary investigation is necessary for touchdown operation. Because it takes time to investigate, SCI operation was done first.

Following SCI deployment, ''Hayabusa2'' also left behind a deployable camera ('''DCAM3''')DCAM3 is numbered as such because it is a follow-on to the DCAM1 and DCAM2 used for the [[IKAROS]] interplanetary solar sail to observe and map the precise location of the SCI impact, while the orbiter maneuvered to the far side of the asteroid to avoid being hit by debris from the impact. [240] => [241] => It was expected that the SCI deployment would induce seismic shaking of the asteroid, a process considered important in the resurfacing of small airless bodies. However, post-impact images from the spacecraft revealed that little shaking had occurred, indicating the asteroid was significantly less cohesive than was expected.{{Cite journal|last1=Nishiyama|first1=G.|last2=Kawamura|first2=T.|last3=Namiki|first3=N.|last4=Fernando|first4=B.|last5=Leng|first5=K.|last6=Onodera|first6=K.|last7=Sugita|first7=S.|last8=Saiki|first8=T.|last9=Imamura|first9=H.|last10=Takagi|first10=Y.|last11=Yano|first11=H.|title=Simulation of Seismic Wave Propagation on Asteroid Ryugu Induced by The Impact Experiment of The Hayabusa2 Mission: Limited Mass Transport by Low Yield Strength of Porous Regolith|url=https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2020JE006594|journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets|year=2021|volume=126|issue=2|language=en|pages=e2020JE006594|doi=10.1029/2020JE006594|bibcode=2021JGRE..12606594N|s2cid=230574308 |issn=2169-9100}} [242] => [243] => [[File:Movie before and after touchdown on Ryugu taken with Hayabusa2's small monitor camera (CAM-H).webm|thumb|The touchdown on and sampling of Ryugu on 11 July]] [244] => Approximately 40 minutes after separation, when the spacecraft was at a safe distance, the impactor was fired into the asteroid surface by detonating a {{cvt|4.5|kg}} [[shaped charge]] of plasticized [[HMX]] for acceleration.{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.actaastro.2012.11.010|bibcode=2013AcAau..84..227S|title=Small carry-on impactor of Hayabusa2 mission|year=2013 [245] => |last1=Saiki|first1=Takanao|last2=Sawada|first2=Hirotaka|last3=Okamoto|first3=Chisato|last4=Yano|first4=Hajime|last5=Takagi|first5=Yasuhiko|last6=Akahoshi|first6=Yasuhiro|last7=Yoshikawa|first7=Makoto [246] => |journal=Acta Astronautica|volume=84|pages=227–236}} The copper impactor was shot onto the surface from an altitude of about {{cvt|500|m}} and it excavated a crater of about {{cvt|10|m}} in diameter, exposing pristine material.[https://gizmodo.com/new-photos-show-the-surprisingly-big-crater-blasted-int-1834298147 New Photos Show the Surprisingly Big Crater Blasted Into Asteroid Ryugu by Japan's Hayabusa2 Probe], George Dvorsky, ''Gizmodo'', 22 May 2019 The next step was the deployment on 4 June 2019 of a reflective target marker in the area near the crater to assist with navigation and descent.
