OSIRIS REx AsteroidBennu TakingSample

Captured on Oct. 20, 2020 during the OSIRIS-REx mission’s Touch-And-Go (TAG) sample collection event, as seen by the navigation camera. The sequence was created using 189 images taken by the spacecraft’s NavCam 2 camera. These images were captured over an approximate three-hour period – the imaging sequence begins approximately one hour after the orbit departure maneuver and ends approximately two minutes after the back-away burn.
