Summary
| Description |
OSIRIS-REx will travel to a near-Earth asteroid, called Bennu, and bring at least a 2.1-ounce sample back to Earth for study. The mission will help scientists investigate how planets formed and how life began, as well as improve our understanding of asteroids that could impact Earth. OSIRIS-REx is scheduled for launch in late 2016. As planned, the spacecraft will reach its asteroid target in 2018 and return a sample to Earth in 2023. OSIRIS-REx is shorthand for the Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security -- Regolith Explorer. Learn more: www.nasa.gov/osiris-rex |
