OSIRIS-REx Slings Orbital Web Around Asteroid to Capture Sample
101955 Bennu, a sizable asteroid resembling a skyscraper in stature, has occupied a pivotal role as one of Earth's proximate celestial neighbors. Since late 2018, it has been the primary focus of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, an intricate initiative aimed at deciphering its enigmas. Commencing its journey on December 3, 2018, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has meticulously observed and engaged with Bennu, yielding a comprehensive understanding of its characteristics.
This significant chapter draws to a close on May 10, 2021, as OSIRIS-REx prepares to depart Bennu's realm and initiate its return journey to Earth. Notably, this voyage is enriched by over 60 grams of precious asteroid samples, painstakingly gathered from Bennu's surface.
A narrated video succinctly encapsulates the mission's trajectory during its time at Bennu, underscoring the remarkable accomplishments and the tireless pursuit of scientific exploration. This mission stands as a testament to our ceaseless fascination with the cosmos and our unyielding commitment to unraveling its mysteries.
