We are extremely grateful for the numerous engineers and supporting scientists who were critical to the successful development and execution of the first mission that rendezvoused with and landed on an asteroid. We thank E. Okumura and K. Tsuno (NEC Toshiba Space Systems, Ltd.) for their great efforts to develop the LIDAR.
