NASA Spacecraft Approaches Asteroid, Snaps First Pic

NASA spacecraft approaches asteroid, snaps first pic. Two years after launching from Florida, a NASA spacecraft is closing in on an ancient asteroid, Bennu, for a sample of space dust that could reveal clues to the start of life in the solar system.

The asteroid Bennu is seen from an image obtained from the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, from a distance of 1.4 million miles (2.2 million km), or almost…

C O N T E N T S:

KEY TOPICS

End of 2018: NASA to launch a New Frontiers mission. (As of end of 2009, Venus SAGE, Osiris-Rex asteroid sample return and lunar sample return missions competed for funding.(More…)

Mars orbit rendezvous is a pretty Rube Goldberg-ian way of handling a sample return mission.(More…)

POSSIBLY USEFUL

NASAand the University of Arizona will conduct the OSIRIS-Rex (Origins,…
