Asteroid Bennu Sample Delivery Today Nasa Osiris Rex Craft 7 Year Journey 250 Gram Piece of Asteroid More Details

Asteroids are said to be dangerous for the Earth. NASA is studying them because they can open the secret of the process of formation of planets. NASA says that their structure is similar to planets, so it is quite important to study them. Now in this episode, a space capsule of NASA is bringing a sample of Esteroid. This sample was taken from the surface of an esteroid three years ago. This spacecraft is to be landing in the desert of Utah. Let’s know important things about it. NASA is constantly gathering information about Asteroid. Now NASA’s Spacecraft Osiris-Rex has released a space capsule from space that is bringing a sample of Asteroid Bennu. Its landing was stated today, ie on Sunday. It will land through parachute. NASA said that the capsule would hit the earth’s layer of atmosphere, which is coming at a speed of 35 times higher than the sound speed. It will reach the surface of the earth within 13 minutes after hitting the atmospheric layer.

NASA has said that this spacecraft has returned after traveling for 7 years. Osiris-Rex is a shared mission of NASA and the University of Arizona, which has brought the world’s third Esteroid sample. It has been said that this will be the largest sample of Esteroid to which will be studied. Earlier, 2 such missions have been completed in the last 13 years for Japan’s Space Agency Asteroid. The Osiris-Rex Space Craft has picked up the sample from a asteroid called Bennu. This Esteroid was discovered in 1999. This asteroid passes close to the earth every 6 years. Scientists have said about this that the possibility of colliding with its earth in the 22nd century is 1 out of 2700 times. Which is quite low. It is a 1600 feet asteroid. Scientists say that it can open the secret of the process of formation of Earth and other planets.

The Osiris-Rex Mission was launched in 2016. It reached Estroid Bennu in 2018. For two years, it continued to circle on Esteroid. It then took a sample of Estroid on 20 October 2020. The weight of the sample is said to be 250 grams. This is more than the two samples that have come before this. In 2010, a sample was brought from Estroid ITOKAWA. The sample was then brought from Estroid Ryugu in 2020. The latest sample is heavier than both of them.
