NASA will live stream the final moments of its groundbreaking OSIRIS-REx mission that will see it bring home samples collected from the Bennu asteroid in 2020.
OSIRIS-REx: 1st US Asteroid Sample Lands Soon In just a few days from now, NASA will oversee the final moments of its groundbreaking OSIRIS-REx mission, which marks the first time for the agency to bring back rock samples collected from a distant asteroid.
The spacecraft will release the capsule when it comes within 63,000 miles of Earth’s surface. Assuming the capsule lands intact and is safely recovered from the Utah desert, the asteroid material that it contains “will offer generations of scientists a window into the time when the sun and planets were forming about 4.5 billion years ago,” according to NASA, and could even shed light on how life on Earth began.
Incredibly, after releasing the capsule, the spacecraft’s work will not be complete as it will then be redirected to study the Apophis asteroid during the rock’s flyby of Earth in 2029.
