That Earth Observation Spacecraft looked down at our planet and take pictures. It will not hang around, it will seem into space, continuing around the sun. When it comes past the earth, it will come within that distance that telecommunication satellites orbit the earth, and 36,000 kilometres away from the earth. When it comes through there, osiris rex, a cyrus apex as it will be no man, will follow close behind and within a couple of weeks that willjoin it and go into orbit around it. It will not be able to do around it. It will not be able to do a Sample Return because it has used all that equipment. The capture, a sample from bennu is all back here on earth. You can use Remote Sensing. It can fire it thrusters, pick up dirt and study with its Remote Sensing incidents what the material is like. Sensing implements. I think this has a lot of carbon in this asteroid, probably about five to 10 carbon. A lot of water in there as well, maybe 10 water in there as well, maybe 10 water bound i
