Return of the Hayabusa probe delayed

The return of the Hayabusa probe will be delayed until 2010 because of a thruster problem. It was originally was expected to return to Earth in June 2007

While the prospects for re-establishing contact with the probe and halting the spin are high, the agency decided to postpone its return because it was unclear how long those procedures would take.
