OSIRIS-REx Slings Orbital Web Around Asteroid to Capture Sample _ 4K

The "orbital web" strategy involved the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft creating a series of orbits around the asteroid Bennu, enabling detailed study of its surface for data collection and analysis. This approach allowed for comprehensive imaging, terrain mapping, and informed decision-making for selecting an appropriate site for the sample collection attempt. The orbital web approach was crucial in gaining insights into Bennu's composition and topography prior to the collection maneuver.
