Two years and two months after it launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, NASA's $800-million mission to the asteroid belt among Mars and Jupiter will achieve a crucial minute Monday, when the office's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is slated to meet with its scientific focus on a dim, round, carbon-rich asteroid named Bennu. At less than 500 meters in measurement, Bennu is a little solar-system body with huge scientific potential: Astronomers speculate the asteroid's rough organization has stayed pretty much unaltered since it framed some 4.5 billion years back. Gathering and investigating an example of the asteroid could enlighten researchers a great deal regarding the starting points of our solar system, its planets, and the wellspring of natural atoms that may have offered ascend to life on Earth. Be that as it may, before anybody can filter through an example from Bennu, NASA should initially gather and recover it. Doing as such will require a few noteworthy adv...
