#ToBennuAndBack

I’ve officially closed the Sample Return Capsule! The sample of Bennu is sealed inside and ready for our voyage back to Earth. The SRC will touch down in the Utah desert on Sep. 24, 2023. Thanks, everyone, for being a part of my journey #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/z75ITNiGBf

TAG! We're it! Just released: new @OSIRISREx views from yesterday as our spacecraft touched the surface of asteroid Bennu for about six seconds, and used its robotic arm to attempt to collect a sample of rocks & dust: https://go.nasa.gov/2HrfUCQ  #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/dPL00ZvlxY

Now that the sample is sealed up in the Sample Return Capsule, I can finally share this video from TAG! This is the view from one of my navigation cameras… pretty intense, huh? #ToBennuAndBack More details: https://bit.ly/2TFBEhe pic.twitter.com/TqPUm9YBvU

"Particles are flying all over the place. We really did kind of make a mess on the surface of this asteroid, but it's a good mess, it's the kind of mess we were hoping for." - @OSIRISREx principal investigator Dante Lauretta on the new sample collection images. #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/ebkdkzkh0o

Mission navigation has received confirmation of burn cutoff. #OSIRISREx is headed home with a souvenir of rocks and dusts from a 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid! #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/BmaK1dkPDB

"Maybe one more time - it's just so cool. I must have watched it about a hundred times last night." - @OSIRISREx principal investigator Dante Lauretta of @UArizonaLPL reveals the first images from the spacecraft's TAG of asteroid Bennu yesterday. #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/DqTtOA2pwg

Tomorrow, our @NASASolarSystem OSIRIS-REx mission departs asteroid Bennu, carrying a sample of rocks & dust for return to Earth. Set a reminder to watch live at 4pm ET as the spacecraft begins its journey home: https://go.nasa.gov/3y9a9zQ  #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/68uLNEYv7e

Never-before-seen images from our journey #ToBennuAndBack Yesterday, @OSIRISREx captured these pics showing the spacecraft touch Bennu, press into its surface & stir up material. The team is busy analyzing what's likely to be NASA's 1st asteroid sample: https://go.nasa.gov/34gnGIK pic.twitter.com/2pnDsfjsPy

Good news: on Oct. 20, our @OSIRISREx spacecraft captured more than enough material from asteroid Bennu to meet mission requirements! The team is now focused on stowing the sample for return to Earth in 2023: https://go.nasa.gov/31ButuN  #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/ILUzEJZHD8
