2300 Marconi Road, Wall, NJ
Seven years ago, NASA launched its first mission to return samples from an asteroid named Bennu. The spacecraft, called OSIRIS-REx, revealed a world littered with potentially mission-ending rocks and boulders. After nearly a year of searching, a safe place was found to grab a sample. Once the precious cargo was stored safely aboard, OSIRIS-REx headed back to Earth.
We will have a live NASA feed of all the events,
hosted by NASA Ambassador Frank O’Brien
