In 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx has touched down the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. After several years of staying in the planetary body, the spacecraft is now on its way for a homecoming together with a 60-gram asteroid sample, CNET reported on Monday, May 10.
Of course, it would take some time before it reunites with the team, and NASA is expecting that by September 24, 2023, the spacecraft is now on the planet after 2.5 years of travel.
