MASCOT's fourth image during the descent to Ryugu
Before the first contact with a large rock on Ryugu, DLR's MASCAM camera photographed the area of the descent route with a backward-looking view. The area covered by MASCAM is marked as an open trapezoid in the overview image of the wide-angle camera of Hayabusa2's ONC (Optical Navigation Camera) system.
