Ryugu as seen close up by MASCOT
Abstract
In October 2018, MASCOT landed on the surface of Ryugu to start a campaign of in-situ measurements. Its brief mission was successful, with the onboard camera revealing the surface of this C-type asteroid in unprecedented detail. The presence of abundant mm-sized, multi-colored inclusions in one rock suggests a link between Ryugu and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.
