Japan's space agency says a Japanese spacecraft successfully landed on an asteroid Thursday and collected material from under its surface. The space agency reported that it rose safely from the surface after collecting dust and rock samples. Space scientists hope that tests of the material will provide information about the formation of our solar system. Officials said data confirmed that the spacecraft had landed on Ryugu and returned to a position above the surface. The operation had been successful in all its planned activities. Getting to rocks and other material below the surface is important, scientists say, because it is unaffected by radiation from space and other influences. The samples have been safely placed in a container which will be moved to a capsule for safe storage. The operation is the most important experiment yet by Hyabusa2. Its next project is to return safely to Earth with the soil samples. Hyabusa2 had now taken samples from two different areas on the asteroid. Early pictures of the recent sample show that the material is of different colors and sizes. Being able to compare material from the surface and from underground was very important. The Hyabusa2 is the first spacecraft to collect samples from under the surface of an asteroid. The United States space agency NASA plans a similar mission to an asteroid called Bennu. Hyabusa2 will continue to take pictures of Ryugu until it begins its 300 million-kilometer trip back to Earth. It is expected to return home in late 2020.
Question 1: According to the news report, what did the Japanese spacecraft do?
Question 2: According to the news report, why is it important to get to rocks and other material below the surface?

四、背景知识
日本在2019年7月12日宣称,它的Hayabusa 2探测器在一颗遥远的小行星上实现了“完美”着陆。这是世界上探测器首次登陆小行星,而且不仅如此,Hayabusa 2探测器还从小行星表面下采集了样品。这一前所未有的任务可能有助于更深入地了解太阳系的起源。探测器的任务现在已经完成,因为它已经收集了样本。在收集样本的过程中,Hayabusa 2先向Ryugu发射了一个“冲击器”,在小行星的表面形成了一个陨石坑,并搅动了以前没有暴露在大气中的物质,这一个过程十分的危险。 然后它短暂降落在Ryugu上并向地面发射了一颗子弹以吸收灰尘进行收集,然后再回到其控制位置。这是Hayabusa 2号第二次降落在离地球约3亿公里的小行星上,它将在今年年底开始返回地球的旅程。
