Hayabusa was a robotic Spacecraft designed by JAXA to collect a sample from the small near-Earth Asteroid 25143 Itokawa.
The solar paddles arranged in a H-shape, the four ion thrusters, a parabolic high-gain Radio Antenna and the re-entry capsule half embedded in the body are this probe's external characteristics. In Hayabusa's fan's artwork, almost always this "wok with a lid"-like shape a capsule is drawn.
