Summary:
"It is a
mission
that might prove impossible. In the fall of 2020, a NASA
spacecraft
called
OSIRIS-REx
attempts to reach out and grab a piece of an
asteroid
named Bennu and bring it back to Earth. The
OSIRIS-REx
team has just three chances to extend its
spacecraft
's specialized arm, touch down for five seconds, and collect material from the surface of Bennu. Can they pull it off? NOVA takes you inside the
mission
as the team plans its approach: They must map the
asteroid
's surface, choose possible collection sites, and rehearse the risky maneuver. If the collection is successful, scientists could gain great insight into Earth's own origins - and even learn to defend against rogue asteroids that may one day threaten our planet."--shop.pbs.org.
