A Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa-2 landed on an asteroid Ryugu on 21st February 2019 in an attempt to collect a sample of rock from the surface. This mission will help to understand the history of the formation of our solar system. Prior to close approach, Hayabusa-2 fired its rocket to move from rest in free space. Right down the rocket equation of motion and determine at its maximum momentum, the fraction of its mass to the original mass Mo.
