How Far Did OSIRIS-REx Plunge Into Asteroid Bennu?

On October 20, 2020, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected a sample of near-Earth asteroid Bennu. This “TAG event” revealed surprising details about Bennu’s loosely-packed surface. The spacecraft’s arm sank almost half a meter into the asteroid, far deeper than expected, confirming that Bennu’s surface is incredibly weak. During the event, OSIRIS-REx collected a handful of material and kicked up roughly six tons of loose rock. It will return its sample of Bennu to Earth in September 2023.

Some wonderful modeling. Great work.

[@Joemama555]

i wanna know what percent of that 6 tons of debris made escape velocity from Bennu

[@killmore75]

Why?

[@mariasirona1622]

Same

[@yrukind]

@@killmore75 6 tons of Additional Asteroids whizzing by us instead of just one.

[@GenghisVern]

What do you mean, African or European debris?

[@Darsh0606]

All of it 😜

[@giovanni4086]

What a beautiful and bold mission

[@carpemkarzi]

Wow. That’s just cool. Congratz

[@paulvalentine1483]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@DelsonFilho01]

Beatiful! Amazing! Thank you

[@Cosm1cCream]

I'm excited for this!

[@midsummerKNlGHT]

looks like a bee collecting pollen lol

[@charleseverything]

True

[@Crunch_dGH]

Other than volume, how are these samples expected to compare with those retrieved from Ryugu & returned by Hayabusa2?

[@Ironside451]

And now it's here!

[@tassoskard8157]

touchdown! Congratulations!

[@ervinasturias1857]

Is amazing..

[@The_UNKNOWN_MAN_777]

Nasa is amazing. Everytime.

[@RazorRamonElJefe]

An amazing feat of engineering. Well done NASA.

[@JonnoPlays]

Why NASA name stuff after Egyptian gods?

[@jimbarchuk]

They charge less royalties than more modern god's names.

[@RamonddeVrede]

September 2023..... excited.

[@gbird5000]

We made it! Looking forward to finding out what was collected!

[@Orionmed]

как естественно астероид выглядит ) самого начала а патом уже нет )

[@cringe2509]

❤mission sucess congrats nasa

[@SolaceEasy]

NASA rocks

[@KSPplayer-hl9lj]

Cant wait for recovery

[@averageguy1261]

Humans can be capable of such great things.

[@justsomeguy6817]

We are finally here boys! She has landed!

[@TheFabFoo]

So coool

[@kcuf554]

They always sent a cameraman

[@rickyrodriguez5744]

Well, so much for science fiction.

[@olorin4317]

Science is pretty cool.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Science is a method not a religion.

[@josephrobertson2202]

So, when do we get our dirt?

[@49nishant28]

You will never.

[@nightjarflying]

September next year

[@romeolivingston84]

This Sunday around 7 am west coast time 😁

[@joshuaalderete4955]

😲

[@C_C_SEA]

💯🖖

[@RAVIEDUCATION2409]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mylifeinvictus]

Imagine, because of this landing, we end up changing its trajectory and as a result, this thing will eventually crash into us and end us all. Great, that’s just great!

[@dishwasher69]

We would just nuke it, we shouldn't be scared of asteroids

[@cesart7354]

LOL

[@jb-fh2og]

with humans!!???

[@piterravatar4012]

Saya hanya melihat dengan persamaan, tentang permukaan astroit, untuk cara teori karena ini penelitian belum juga yang saya katakan ini benar.astroit tersebut mungkin kecil tidak besar seperti bentuk bulan.. perhatikan langkah nail amstrong ,dan buzz Aldrin.mereka menginjakkan kaki di permukaan bulan koneksi ada mengatakan permukaan bulan berdebu seperti tepung,Karena mereka berjalan saat melangkah debu pada permukaan bulan naik ke atas tetapi tidak begitu naik seperti pada permukaan astroit saat Rovers mendarat di permukaan astroit ini, gravitasi yang terdapat pada astroit ini sangat lemah ,karena pengaruh permukaan yang kecil dengan besar sesuai ukuran yang terdapat grafitasi,jika permukaan kecil seperti internasional space station,belum mendapatkan gaya gravitasi.jika tidak terdapat grafitasi sama sekali Rovers sulit mendarat harus ada sistem menarik pada mesin rovers.untuk penemuan ini yang sudah di jelajah para ilmuwan mendapatkan tambahan ilmu, dengan membuat nama alat pengukur gravitasi,yang terdapat pada(bulan)(mars)(bumi)dan astroit ini..itu mata pelajaran oleh ilmuwan... sesuatu besar permukaan yang tidak mempunyai atmosfer,.pada intinya tentang terdapat gravitasi.. lakukan experimen sedikit persamaan di alat gravity tempat ruangan astronot latihan.dengan cara sistem membesar kecilkan volume pengangkatan..maka anda akan melihat hasil setiap beban yang di jatuhkan..hanya saja sulit memeriksa berapa ketinggian dari permukaan baru terdapat grafitasi..
