NASA to reveal 4.5 billion-year-old asteroid sample on October 11
美国宇航局将于10月11日公布45亿年前的小行星样本
NASA is gearing up to unveil the sample collected from the Bennu asteroid during the groundbreaking OSIRIS-REx mission on October 11. The results of their analysis of the returned asteroid sample will also be discussed for the first time on the same day. Launched in September 2016, OSIRIS-REx marked NASA’s first-ever attempt to retrieve a sample from an asteroid. The spacecraft successfully gathered the sample in 2020 and returned to Earth on September 24, touching down in the Utah desert.
NASA正准备在10月11日揭晓在开创性的OSIRIS-REx任务中从Bennu小行星收集的样本。当天，他们对返回的小行星样本的分析结果也将首次被讨论。OSIRIS-REx于2016年9月发射，标志着NASA首次尝试从小行星上取样。该宇宙飞船在2020年成功收集了样本，并于9月24日返回地球，在犹他州的沙漠中着陆。
