Asteroid Landing

guardia writes "This is my first submit to Slashdot and the following looked cool enough to me and since I haven't seen it posted yet on Slashdot, here goes! Basically, the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, ISAS, is planning to launch the M-V rocket from its Kagoshima Space Center located in Uuchinoura, Kagoshima. The rocket will contain the small craft Muses-C (also available in Japanese) which should land on Asteroid 1998SF36 (the "star prince"), leave a million names or so (you can register yours for free!) on the target marker, and come back with some surface samples."
