... 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...

These data should also help in the petrological analysis of the carbon storage function of the South Pacific and Southern of silicate materials from the Ryugu and Bennu asteroids. Oceans.

Shock recovery experiments on calcite showed progressive changes in shock-induced microstructures; high dislocation density and decomposition occurred at ∼15 and ∼40...

... organic-rich nature and diverse composition ( Naraoka et al. 2023 ; Yabuta et al. 2023 ). Most recently, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx space mission has returned precious samples of the spectrally B-type (a class of C-type) asteroid 101955-Bennu. The spacecraft has already detected signatures of organic materials...

... 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...

... meteorites in the future may provide some of the best-preserved cometary components available for laboratory study until sample return from a comet surface is achieved. In the near term, sample return from the C-type asteroids Ryugu, by the Hayabusa2 mission, and Bennu, by the OSIRIS-REx mission, could...

...) proposed a tidal‐seismic 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...

... environment on planetesimals. The samples from B-type asteroid (101955) Bennu, returned by OSIRIS-REx , will tell us about the origin and evolution of another hydrated carbonaceous small body in the context of the Solar System evolution. The Lucy spacecraft will show us Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids...

Additionally, JSC curation houses some combination of space-exposed hardware, contamination knowledge samples, and spacecraft material coupons for all NASA-led sample-return missions, including ongoing sample-return missions like OSIRIS...

... ). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration OSIRIS‐REx sample return mission visited 101955 Bennu, a small (∼500 m equatorial diameter) carbonaceous asteroid, to collect regolith samples. OSIRIS‐REx was launched on 8 September 2016 and touched down on Bennu to successfully collect 121.6 g of carbonaceous...

... of material from the asteroid Bennu. With such a large quantity of material, it is quite likely that the OSIRIS-REx data will demonstrate how abundant organics are on carbonaceous asteroids. Given the presence of organics across a multitude of small planetary bodies in the Solar System, fragments...

... 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...

... in extraterrestrial rocks that fall to Earth. Not all meteorites contain stellar dust grains. They are only present 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...
