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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons.

S. A. Stern, +150 more
- 16 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: The New Horizons encounter revealed that Pluto displays a surprisingly wide variety of geological landforms, including those resulting from glaciological and surface-atmosphere interactions as well as impact, tectonic, possible cryovolcanic, and mass-wasting processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu—A spinning top–shaped rubble pile

Sei-ichiro Watanabe, +99 more
- 19 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: The Hayabusa2 spacecraft measured the mass, size, shape, density, and spin rate of asteroid Ryugu, showing that it is a porous rubble pile, and observations of Ryugu's shape, mass, and geomorphology suggest that Ryugu was reshaped by centrifugally induced deformation during a period of rapid rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes

Seiji Sugita, +132 more
- 19 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: Spectral observations and a principal components analysis suggest that Ryugu originates from the Eulalia or Polana asteroid family in the inner main belt, possibly via more than one generation of parent bodies.
