... MU69 on 1 January 2019—and Juno —an orbiting mission that is studying the origin, evolution, and internal structure of Jupiter. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft departed for near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 411 evolved expendable launch vehicle at 7:05 p.m. eastern...

... from hydrous asteroids Ryugu and Bennu can help us reconstruct the dynamical evolution of water in the early Solar System and understand the timing and mechanisms of aqueous alteration on hydrous asteroids. Stable water isotopes ( 16 O, 17 O, 18 O, H, and D) in chondrites are powerful tools...

Bennu, which is the focus of the current NASA lead OSIRIS-REx sample return mission ( Lauretta et al. 2019 ), and asteroid Ryugu, which was visited by the Hayabusa2 mission operated by the Japanese space agency JAXA. Thus, the detailed study of the carbonaceous chondrites provides the framework...

... term, sample return from the C-type asteroids Ryugu, by the Hayabusa2 mission, and Bennu, by the OSIRIS-REx mission, could provide an abundance of similar materials through which to track the early history of the solar system. REFERENCE Nittler LR and 7 coauthors ( 2019 ) A cometary...

... resonance effect in which seismic waves in a planet excited by an orbiting moon’s tidal force can, in turn, influence the moon’s orbit. Seismology can be used to analyze the asteroid Bennu’s OSIRIS‐REx images ( DellaGiustina et al. , 2019 ) and lidar for clues in features like run‐outs, slopes, particle...

... in the fine-grained matrix in primitive chondrite meteorites, which are rich in carbon and other organic materials. This is why samples from carbonaceous type (C-type) asteroids Bennu and Ryugu, subjects of ongoing missions, are such an exciting prospect. The abundance of stardust in meteorites is a function...

... down on Mars. It is the first space robotic explorer designed to study the interior of a planet by using seismology, geodesy, and heat flow measurements. On 3 December 2018, the NASA spacecraft OSIRIS-REx reached the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu and discovered the presence of water. On 3 January 2019...
