Solveig Irvine (NASA-MSFC)

The OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security – Regolith Explorer) mission is NASA’s first asteroid sample return mission, which brought a pristine sample from Near-Earth Asteroid Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Since then, the team has been working with scientists from around the world to study and analyze different aspects of the Bennu sample. In this talk, we present some of these exciting new results and the future of the mission.
