After today's successful Bennu sample delivery, OSIRIS is off on a new adventure with a new name. smile.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

A few new details in this article, confirming they will use the thrusters to stir up loose material to see how it interacts, comparing it with Bennu (though for Bennu they also used the nitrogen gas, unclear what will be done with the unused portion).

I also answered my own question from the December 6th post: When Apophis 'laps' the spacecraft in its orbit this coming February 23rd, they will still be 9.9 million km apart).
