asteroid bennu

OSIRIS-REx's destination is the asteroid Bennu, with the goal of seeking the origin of life as well as the origin of the Solar System.

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) is preparing to launch a spacecraft tasked with taking soil samples from an asteroid to Earth.

An asteroid nine times larger than the yacht Queen Elizabeth 2 is about to approach the Earth later this month.

NASA's OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft will be powered by Earth to reach speeds of nearly 13,700km / h and fly to a 500m high asteroid.
