| Data type | Browse/Download | Description |
| Mission | Hayabusa2 Mission Bundle | This bundle contains information and documentation relevant to the mission as a whole. |
Hayabusa2 orbiter data:
| Data type | Browse/Download | Description |
| Images | ONC | The Optical Navigation Cameras (ONC) is a suite of visible light cameras including telephoto (ONC-T) and wide angle panchromatic (ONC-W1 and ONC-W2) cameras. |
| TIR | The Thermal Infrared Imager (TIR) is a thermal infrared camera operating at 8-12 microns, using a two-dimensional microbolometer array. | |
| Spectra | NIRS3 | The Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS3) is a spectrograph with a wavelength range of 1.8 - 3.2 microns. |
| Nuclear | N/A | No nuclear instrument on Hayabusa2 |
| Dust | N/A | No dust detector on Hayabusa2 |
| Altimetry | LIDAR | The Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) instrument operated at altitudes from 30m to 25km, providing measurements of the spacecraft range to the surface. |
| Radio Science | Radio Science - not yet available | The Hayabusa2 radio science observations provide the information necessary to make estimates of the gravity field, mass, and other physical characteristics of Ryugu. |
| SPICE | Hayabusa2 SPICE Archive - coming soon | Will be archived at NAIF |
Hayabusa2 landers, impactor, and sampling:
| Data type | Browse/Download | Description |
| MASCOT lander | Not yet available | The MASCOT lander operated on the surface for more than 17 hours. These instruments produced data which will be archived in PDS: MasCam (wide-angle camera), MasMag (magnetometer), MicroOmega (infrared spectroscopic microscope), MARA (thermal radiometer). |
| Minerva landers | Not yet available | The Minerva-II-1 Rover 1A (Hibou) operated on the surface for 36 days and Rover 1B (Owl) operated for 3 days. Both rovers had cameras and thermometers. The third Minerva rover, Ulula, did not obtain data. |
| DCAM3 | Not yet available | The Deployable Camera (DCAM3) was deployed to observe the impact of the Small Carry-On Impactor. |
| CAM-H | Not yet available | CAM-H is a small monitor camera mounted on the lower edge of the spacecraft that was able to take images of the sampler horn and surface during touchdown. |
