TL;DR: The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft departed for near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu via an United Launch Alliance Atlas V 411 evolved expendable launch vehicle at 7:05 p.m. EDT on September 8, 2016, on a seven-year journey to return samples from Bennu as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of the thermal processing of particles in solar nebula shocks: Application to the cooling rates of chondrules
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the thermal processing of particles in shock waves typical of the solar nebula is presented, and the model is applied to the melting and cooling of chondrules.

TL;DR: Early OSIRIS-REx observations of Bennu are considered to understand how the asteroid’s properties compare to pre-encounter expectations and to assess the prospects for sample return.

TL;DR: Early spectral data from the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission reveal evidence for abundant hydrated minerals on the surface of near Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu in the form of a near-infrared absorption near 2.7

TL;DR: Using images and thermal data from NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft, this paper showed that asteroid (101955) Bennu's surface is globally rough, dense with boulders, and low in albedo.
