Hayabusa

Engineers and scientists at JAXA monitor the journey of the Hayabusa spacecraft, launched to retrieve samples from the asteroid Itokawa. As the rendezvous date nears, the mission is plagued by a cascade of critical failures—from gyroscope malfunctions to a complete loss of communication. Back on Earth, the project manager and his team wage a desperate race against time, attempting to remotely troubleshoot a probe drifting millions of kilometers away. Every command they send is a high-stakes gamble to salvage a pioneering scientific endeavor that holds the future of Japan's space ambitions in the balance.
