OSIRIS-REx Returned a Pristine Sample of Asteroid Bennu: Takeaways from the Mission's Contamination Control and Knowledge Program
Jason P. Dworkin, Scott A. Sandford, Nicole G. Lunning +81
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission had the objective of delivering a pristine sample from asteroid (101955) Bennu to Earth for scientific analysis--where "pristine" signifies the absence of…
Physical Analysis of Bennu Samples Reveals Regolith Production by Collisional Disruption on Near-Earth Asteroids
R. -L. Ballouz, A. J. Ryan, R. J. Macke +25
Owing to the extremely low gravity of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), it has been assumed that impact-generated rock fragments escape into space and thus do not contribute to th…
QRIS: A Quantitative Reflectance Imaging System for the Pristine Sample of Asteroid Bennu
Ruby E. Fulford, Dathon R. Golish, Dante S. Lauretta +12
The Quantitative Reflectance Imaging System (QRIS) is a laboratory-based spectral imaging system constructed to image the sample of asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by the Origins…
OSIRIS-REx Contamination Control Strategy and Implementation
J. P. Dworkin, L. A. Adelman, T. Ajluni +59
OSIRIS-REx will return pristine samples of carbonaceous asteroid Bennu. This article describes how pristine was defined based on expectations of Bennu and on a realistic understand…
OSIRIS-REx: Sample Return from Asteroid (101955) Bennu
D. S. Lauretta, S. S. Balram-Knutson, E. Beshore +45
In May of 2011, NASA selected the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) asteroid sample return mission as the third…
