NASAs OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has begun its 1.4 billion mile journey back to Earth — and its carrying historic asteroid samples By Sophie Lewis NASA attempts historic touchdown on asteroid After nearly five years in space, a NASA spacecraft is nearing the end of its historic mission, beginning its journey home to Earth with a plethora of asteroid samples.  NASAs Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft be...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx has said its goodbyes to asteroid Bennu, the space rock it has studied for over two years. The spacecraft has analyzed this small asteroid in exquisite detail and finally last October flew down to its surface to collect a sample of asteroid material to bring back to Earth. Its journey home with its precious cargo has now begun. On May 10, at 4:23 pm EDT, OSIRIS-REx fired its engines for a full 7-minute burn. The spacecraft started moving away from Bennu at almost 1,000 kilom...
