OSIRIS-REx Slings Orbital Web Around Asteroid to Capture Sample
Venture into the captivating realm of space exploration as we unveil the remarkable journey of the OSIRIS-REx mission, entwined with the enigmatic asteroid 101955 Bennu. A celestial giant, towering akin to a skyscraper, Bennu stands as one of Earth's closest planetary companions. This narrated video chronicles the intricate tale of OSIRIS-REx, an emissary from humanity, and its immersive embrace of Bennu's mysteries since its arrival on December 3, 2018.
From the moment OSIRIS-REx touched Bennu's surface, an intricate tapestry of observations began to unfold, interweaving science and curiosity. As the mission's meticulous dance with Bennu flourished, it painted a vivid tableau of cosmic revelations against the backdrop of space.
With a touch of melancholic farewell, OSIRIS-REx bids adieu to its cherished companion on May 10, 2021, embarking on a triumphant voyage back to Earth. Nestled within its protective confines are over 60 grams of precious samples, meticulously gathered from the heart of Bennu itself.
