When the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected a sample of near-Earth asteroid Bennu, it revealed surprising details about Bennu’s loosely packed surface. The spacecraft’s arm sank almost half a metre into the asteroid, far deeper than expected, confirming that Bennu’s surface is incredibly weak. 🪨 During the event, OSIRIS-REx collected a handful of material and kicked up roughly six tons of loose rock. It will return its sample of Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Thanks to its contribution to the m

OSIRIS-REx has spent almost two years circling near-Earth asteroid Bennu. Tomorrow, it swoops in to scoop up a sample. But Bennu has turned out to be more complicated than we expected. Thanks to laser altimetry data and high-resolution imagery from OSIRIS-REx, we can take a tour of Bennu’s remarkable terrain. When NASA's OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission arrived at asteroid Bennu in December 2018, its close-up images confirmed what mission planners had predicted nearly two decades before

Riding the Slingshot to Bennu - NASA Science

Bennu, an ancient and rocky near-Earth asteroid about 550 yards (about 500 meters) wide. Asteroids like Bennu are made of material from the earliest days of the solar system. When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at asteroid Bennu in December 2018, its close-up images confirmed what mission planners had predicted nearly two decades before: Bennu is made of loose material weakly clumped together by gravity, and shaped like a spinning top. This major validation, however, was accompanied by a m

Asteroid Bennu's Surprising Surface Revealed by NASA Spacecraft - NASA Science

“Our expectations about the asteroid’s surface were completely wrong" - Dante Lauretta, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Mission In 2020, our #OSIRISREx spacecraft collected a sample of dust and rock from asteroid Bennu’s surface. Astonishing results published today reveal that Bennu’s surface is so weak that the spacecraft would have sunk into the asteroid had it not fired its thrusters to back away. https://go.nasa.gov/3aiAcgY #ToBennuAndBack #Asteroids #PlanetaryDefense | NASA Solar System Exploration

The spacecraft was sent nearly 334 million kilometers from Earth with a precise objective: briefly touch the asteroid’s surface, collect samples, and safely return. NASA planned to use a method called TAG (Touch-And-Go). The spacecraft would descend slowly, make contact for just a few seconds, and activate a s
