OSIRIS-REx Slings Orbital Web Around Asteroid to Capture Sample
101955 Bennu is one of Earth’s closest planetary neighbors – an asteroid roughly the height of a skyscraper, and since late 2018, the place that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has called home. When OSIRIS-REx arrived on Dec. 3, 2018, it began wrapping Bennu in a complex web of observations.

This narrated video presents the mission’s complete trajectory during its time at Bennu.
