ASA initiated the OSIRIS-REx mission, aiming to explore the asteroid Bennu, a potentially hazardous object orbiting close to Earth. After a meticulous 7-year endeavor, the mission achieved a major milestone in September 2023, returning a sample of Bennu to Earth. This development holds immense significance due to Bennu's potential threat to our planet in the future.
In this video, we delve into the mission's background, detailing its launch, the selection of Bennu, and the intricate process of collecting the asteroid sample. While scientists initially hoped to uncover insights into the early Solar System, the returned sample has unveiled unexpected findings. We explore the implications of these discoveries and their impact on our understanding of asteroids, space matter, and potential threats from celestial objects like Bennu.
