OSIRIS-REx: NASA's First Mission to Deliver Asteroid Samples to Earth

On September 24, 2023, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully delivered samples of asteroid Bennu to Earth, following a seven-year mission that saw the spacecraft travel nearly four billion miles through deep-space. These samples could give insights into the planetary formation of our solar system and the origins of life on Earth.

Designed, built and flown by our teams, the spacecraft has now begun its extended mission to asteroid Apophis under its new mission name, OSIRIS-APEX.

Imagine what we could do if we had the defence budget for space

Congratulations NaSa and America from Bharat 🇮🇳

That is amazing, can't wait to see what they find out :)

Congratulations Lockheed and NASA. I was fortunate enough to watch the landing.
I hope to see more videos about OSIRIS-REx in the near future.

"hey, Jeff! We are in the middle of no-where, in the sun, waiting for some block of dust from space to fall on us and we are probably underpaid, and the guys at base are sitting on their fancy cusion seats and they are the ones making history? Guess what im about to do? *unzips*"

[ASAPKING]

So awesome! I want to work for Lockheed Martin bad!!

[icare]

Congratulations teams!

And when they opened the sample vessel they were shocked……

To be continued

[bmiller]

I can't wait to hear the chemical composition of the sample. Science rules!!!

Absolutely amazing, knowledge companies like lockheed are the ones who will take humanity to the stars and beyond.

In the UK we say that we would like to have the NHS budget for space. Then we would have our vertical empire, as it was called in the late 1940s.

I think it's pretty safe to say that, "somebody a lot smarter than me, done all the math."

Professor new feature hang on a minute

All this is simply put is a foreshadowing on how their going to start mining and spending billions on making trillions on asteroid mining.

Oh look the rockets takes off then suddenly frame cuts to cgi space convincing if you cant tell this is a bunch of computer generated images then your blind as a bat!

[billiehicks]

4 billion miles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we cant even go to the bottom of the ocean but 4billion miles in the most hostile environment sure..??? Jesus walking on water and being resurected from the dead is far more believable than this nonsense 😂😂😂

[billiehicks]

We cant get cell phone reception in the country but nasa is remote controling a rover on mars 236 million miles away for over a decade and the thing still works? 😂😂cmon people can you not see bs when its this obvious? What about the president phone call from nixon to the moon? Yall wanna explain how there was NO DELAY for the signal to travel that far meanwhile youtubers live streams are 5-30 seconds delayed? Like does anyone have any common sense? I guess they forgot to metioned they used light radio waves that were a million times faster than radio waves 😂

Hey Lockheed Martin, how do you get past the firmament?
