How asteroid Bennu completely disrupted NASA’s landing plans

Asteroid Bennu was expected to be relatively smooth and easy to sample. When OSIRIS-REx arrived, it found a surface covered almost entirely in massive boulders. Safe landing zones shrank to areas no bigger than a few parking spaces. Mission planners were forced to redesign critical maneuvers in real time. Bennu turned a precision mission into a ...

• Asteroid Bennu Full Rotation • • This series of images taken by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft shows asteroid Bennu in one full rotation from about 50 miles (80 km). The spacecraft’s PolyCam camera obtained the thirty-six 2.2-millisecond frames over a period of four hours and 18 minutes. •• Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/University Of Arizona | Astronomy Nation

Bennu, an ancient and rocky near-Earth asteroid about 550 yards (about 500 meters) wide. Asteroids like Bennu are made of material from the earliest days of the solar system. When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at asteroid Bennu in December 2018, its close-up images confirmed what mission planners had predicted nearly two decades before: Bennu is made of loose material weakly clumped together by gravity, and shaped like a spinning top. This major validation, however, was accompanied by a m
