NASA is sending a spacecraft to Bennu, an asteroid, for sample collection.
The craft is called OSIRIS-REx, as shown in the artist's rendition below, and it will launch in 2016 and land three years later.
Specifically:
○ Think about what we are doing in Solar System exploration in 2014 and what we might be doing in 2023
○ Tweet your statement with hashtag #AsteroidMission or
○ Tag OSIRIS-REx on Instagram with hashtag #AsteroidMission to share your ideas as a graphic or photo.
Posts can be about science, engineering, technology or other subjects related to space exploration today and in 2023.
So you can put your "moon"-ing photos away.
