Smash and Grab Sampling:
The Asteroid Bennu
View on ISEC.lectures our YouTube Channel
or choose ISEC Lectures at the top of this page to view.
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx probe, briefly touched down on the asteroid Bennu in the space agency’s first-ever attempt to collect samples of an asteroid. The views from OSIRIS-REx showed a successful touchdown, a puff of rocky particles and a smooth departure from the asteroid Bennu.
Any worries of hitting a big, hard rock were abated as OSIRIS-REx appeared to just smash through large chunks about 8 inches (20 centimeters) across.
Speaker Frank O’Brien has been volunteering at InfoAge since 2003, and is a Solar System Ambassador for Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He is the author of a very successful book on the Apollo Guidance Computer, and gives lectures on all aspects of spaceflight.
