Best Bulk Bennu (B3): Elemental compositions of aggregate samples from asteroid Bennu
K. Wang, K. Lodders, P. Koefoed +20
Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites have long served as proxies for the bulk Solar System composition due to their close agreement with solar photospheric abundances and enrich…
Chondrite Parent Bodies as Escaped Satellites of Proto-Planetary Embryos
Harold F. Levison, Rogerio Deienno, Kevin J. Walsh +4
Chondrites are composed of formerly partially molten material, known as chondrules, surrounded by fine-grained matrix. They date from the earliest times in Solar System history. Ho…
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…
