Saw this news article today:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...th-osiris-rq36/ And didn't see a thread on this mission. There was a passing reference or two to it, and a mention here: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...310#entry161310 Of this: http://futureplanets.blogspot.com/search/l...roid%20Proposal Which I guess I missed on vjkane's blog. |

Spacecraft spotted! http://www.asteroidmission.org/?latest-new...ft-since-launch
I'm sure it must be mentioned somewhere, any plans for the spacecraft to do some imagery of its own? |
