JAXA, the space agency, plans to drop the capsule containing the samples in a remote, sparsely populated area of Australia 220,000 kilometers (136,700 miles) away in space, a major challenge that requires precision control. The capsule, protected by a heat shield, will transform into a fireball upon re-entering the atmosphere 200 kilometers (125 miles) above the ground. About 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the ground, a parachute will open to prepare for landing and light signals will be transmitted to indicate its location.
