NASA s OSIRIS-REx Returning To Earth After Collecting Asteroid Sample

5:37 A NASA spacecraft has started its return trip to Earth after collecting a sample from an asteroid last fall.  It was a big day when OSIRIS-REx briefly touched down on the asteroid Bennu back in October – and after collecting more sample than expected, it’s finally on its way home. Project Scientist Dr. Jason Dworkin says at 4:23 p.m. Monday, OSIRIS-REx fired its thrusters for a total of seven minutes, propelling away from Bennu at a speed of roughly 600 miles per hour. “Taking it two orbits from the sun to intersect with Earth on September 24, 2023,” he adds.  Clearly, OSIRIS-REx still has a lengthy trip ahead of it (1.4 billion miles, to be exact). Dworkin says there’s no-straight path to Earth – both in a figurative and literal sense, as Bennu is currently on the opposite side of the sun. Rather, NASA navigators are steering OSIRIS-REx around the sun, toward where the Earth

OSIRIS-REx mission returning to Earth from Bennu asteroid

Arizona Republic View Comments CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.   With rubble from an asteroid tucked inside, a NASA spacecraft fired its engines and began the long journey back to Earth on Monday, leaving the ancient space rock in its rearview mirror. The trip home for the robotic prospector, Osiris-Rex, will take two years. Osiris-Rex reached asteroid Bennu in 2018 and spent two years flying near and around it, before collecting rubble from the surface last fall. The University of Arizona’s Dante Lauretta, the principal scientist, estimates the spacecraft holds between a half pound and 1 pound of mostly bite-size chunks. Either way, it easily exceeds the target of at least 2 ounces.
