This is amazing. What's the risk that the probe would be thrown out into space when jumping over a bump due to extremely feeble gravity of Ryugu.

- greglindahl 8y agoThe "jumps" are intended to be gentle enough that they won't leave Ryugu's gravity well. For that, you just need to know Ryugu's mass; they had a good guess of that before the mission started, and a much better idea of it now.
