Hayabusa

Hayabusa (はやぶさ, literally "Peregrine Falcon") was an unmanned spacecraft developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to return a sample of material from a small near-Earth asteroid named 25143 Itokawa to Earth for further analysis. 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.

The spacecraft also carried a detachable minilander, MINERVA, which failed to reach the surface.

Mission firsts

Other spacecraft, notably Galileo and NEAR Shoemaker both sent by NASA, visited asteroids before, but the Hayabusa mission was the first attempt to return an asteroid sample to Earth for analysis.

Hayabusa (train)

The Hayabusa (はやぶさ, literally Peregrine Falcon) is a high-speed Shinkansen service operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) between Tokyo and Shin-Aomori in Japan since 5 March 2011. The name was formerly used for a limited express sleeping car service operated by JR Kyushu, which ran from Tokyo to Kumamoto, and was discontinued in March 2009.

    Hayabusa (wrestler)

    Eiji Ezaki (江崎 英治 Ezaki Eiji) (born 1968) is a former Japanese professional wrestler better known as the masked Hayabusa (ハヤブサ Hayabusa, "Falcon"), who worked primarily for Atsushi Onita's Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling (FMW) promotion.

    Career

    Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (1991–1993)

    Eiji Ezaki began his wrestling career training in the FMW dojo. He would make his FMW debut on July 19, 1991, where he teamed up with Amigo Ultra to defeat Akihito Ichihara and Yukihido Ueno. As is customary in profession wrestling, especially puroresu, Ezaki lost the majority of his matches for the early years of his career. Ezaki debuted for New Japan Pro Wrestling at Super J Cup 1994 where he was defeated by Jushin Thunder Liger in the first round.

    North American Excursion (1993–1995)

    Ezaki adopted the Hayabusa gimmick in 1993 while in Mexico. While there, he learned the lucha libre style from wrestling instructor Rey Misterio, Sr. Ezaki wrestled for the World Wrestling Association, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre during his time in Mexico. He then returned to Japan to face Jushin Thunder Liger in a well received first round match during the Super J Cup tournament.
