The OSIRIS-REx asteroid-sampling mission will deliver pieces of asteroid Bennu to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023, before moving on to study asteroid Apophis in 2029.

Before-and-after images and measurements revealed a treasure trove of data from the few seconds that it took for the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to collect an asteroid sample, which is currently en route to Earth. Among the findings, published in the journal Science: The particles making up Bennu's exterior are so loosely packed and lightly bound to each other that they act more

In a study co-authored by UH Mānoa planetary geologist David Trang, asteroid Bennu’s boulder-covered surface gives it protection against small meteoroid impacts.

NASAs OSIRIS-REx Mission Plans for May Asteroid Departure On May 10, NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft will say farewell to asteroid Bennu and begin its journey back to Earth. During its Oct. 20, 2020, sample collection event, the spacecraft collected a substantial amount of material from Bennu’s surface, likely exceeding the mission’s requirement of 2 ounces (60 grams). The spacecraft is scheduled to deli...

NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona On May 10, NASAs OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will say farewell to asteroid Bennu and begin its two-year journey back to Earth, where the dust and rocks collected during the Touch-And-Go maneuver in October will be studied by scientists, including OSIRIS-REx mission principal investigator and University of Arizona planetary scientist Dante Lauretta. During its Oct. 20, 2020, sample collection event, the spacecraft collected a substantial amount of material from Be...
