A final Bennu flyby is planned for April to check out the sampling site (not confirmed, but "if feasible")! 3.2 km closest approach, and also an opportunity to check the instruments are working well and not too affected by dust kicked up during the TAG.

I keep my fingers crossed for the OSIRIS-REx team - so that we can see this "battlefield" in April. It's now or never again ! |
