Trailer For 'Hayabusa - The Long Return Home'

 

The full trailer has been released for 'Hayabusa - The Long Return Home', the new Japanese drama based around the Hayabusa space probe. The film stars Ken Watanabe as the project manager who helps guide the team as they cope with Hayabusa’s 7-year flight to asteroid 25143 Itokawa and back.

Synopsis

Hayabusa, formerly known as MUSES-C for Mu Space Engineering Spacecraft C, was launched on 9 May 2003 and rendezvoused with Itokawa in mid-September 2005. After arriving at Itokawa, Hayabusa studied the asteroid's shape, spin, topography, colour, composition, density, and history. In November 2005, it landed on the asteroid and collected samples in the form of tiny grains of asteroidal material, which were returned to Earth aboard the spacecraft on 13 June 2010.

'Hayabusa - The Long Return Home' co-stars Yosuke Eguchi, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Yui Natsukawa, Yukiyoshi Ozawa, Renji Ishibashi, Yuri Nakamura, Tatsuya Fuji, and Tsutomu Yamazaki. It is due for release across Japan on the 11th February, 2012.
