NASA's OSIRIS-REx Mission Exceeds Expectations with Successful Asteroid Sample Collection
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu has surpassed its goal. After two years of collecting samples from the asteroid’s surface, the spacecraft has returned home with a record-breaking haul of material, setting a new record for the most material ever collected from an asteroid. The samples will provide valuable insight into the Solar System’s history and evolution. Scientists are hoping to learn more about how asteroids form, what their compositions are, and how they’ve changed over time. With these samples, researchers will be able to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our Solar System.
