OSIRIS-REx: Sample Return from Asteroid (101955) Bennu

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.

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.

Craters, boulders and regolith of (101955) Bennu indicative of an old and dynamic surface

TL;DR: Early measurements of numerous large candidate impact craters on near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu by the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission indicate a surface that is between 100 million and 1 billion years old, predating Bennu's expected duration as a near Earth asteroid as mentioned in this paper.
