Japanese space rovers send footage from asteroid

The video discusses the deployment of the first robot rovers on the asteroid Ryugu. These rovers, Rover 1A and Rover 1B, move by hopping due to Ryugu's weak gravity and are equipped with cameras to capture high-resolution images and videos of the asteroid's surface. The Hayabusa 2 spacecraft, which deployed the rovers, plans to land on Ryugu by creating a landing zone with a missile, allowing it to collect asteroid samples.
