The OSIRIS-REx mission, led by NASA, successfully executed a complex maneuver to navigate around the asteroid Bennu and collect a sample. This maneuver involved the spacecraft slinging itself into an orbital "web" around the asteroid, allowing it to carefully study the surface and select a suitable sampling site. The spacecraft used its TAGSAM (Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism) to collect a sample of regolith (asteroid surface material), which it will return to Earth for scientific analysis. This remarkable mission provides valuable insights into the composition of asteroids and the early solar system. You can find stunning 4K footage and detailed descriptions of this mission from NASA and other reputable sources online.
