Abstract(in English)	The small solar system bodies, such as asteroids and comets, are important to study the origin and evolution of the solar system and the life. The asteroid explorer "Hayabusa" is the first sample return mission from an asteroid. It will come back to the earth on June 13, 2010. Up to now, Hayabusa got a lot of data from an very small asteroid Itokawa, the size of which is about 500 m, and it brought quite new information for the planetary science. At present (May 2010), we are working for the final operation of Hayabusa, and also we are studying Hayabusa follow-on missions. In the new missions, we will explore small solar system bodies in different type to advance our understanding to the solar system.
