NASA's OSIRIS-REx recently dropped off a sample from asteroid Bennu, and now it will continue on to a new target: asteroid Apophis.

OSIRIS-REx will now travel to and study Apophis, another near-Earth asteroid, for 18 months. The spacecraft's name will change to OSIRIS-APEX for OSIRIS-APophis EXplorer.

Scientists said they got more material than expected from the Osiris-Rex mission during its seven-year journey to the asteroid Bennu.

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft returns to Earth on Sunday, September 24, bearing gifts.

Looking at OSIRIS-REx's target asteroid Bennu through telescopes, astronomers thought that it would be rather similar to other known space rocks. They were in for a surprise.

Studying bits of asteroid Bennu can tell us about Earth's past—and potentially help future humans prepare for collisions.

This view of asteroid Bennu ejecting particles from its surface was created by combining two images taken by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on January 19, 2019.

NASA’s first spacecraft to collect a sample from an asteroid will complete its 7-year mission later this year when OSIRIS-REx drops off some of asteroid Bennu in Utah.

The Lockheed Martin built spacecraft called Osiris Rex made *** brief touchdown on an asteroid known as Bannu. Its job was to collect *** soil sample and bring it back to earth. That's right.

When Osiris Rex makes it back to earth must be extremely careful not to contaminate the sample as they prepare it for *** trip to Houston to be analyzed at the Johnson Space Center. Yeah.
