Asteroid Approach Maneuver 4 was a success and I'm on track for arrival at Bennu on Dec. 3! AAM-4 used the ACS thrusters, which are capable of velocity changes as small as 0.02 mph. I'll be relying on them a lot when I start flying around Bennu. More: https://bit.ly/2zU1YKu

NASA's OSIRIS-REx Executes Fourth Asteroid Approach Maneuver

November 13, 2018 - NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft executed its fourth Asteroid Approach Maneuver (AAM-4) yesterday. The spacecraft fired its Attitude Control System (ACS) thrusters to slow the spacecraft from approximately 0.31 mph (0.14 m/sec) to 0.10 mph (0.04 m/sec). The ACS thrusters are capable of velocity changes as small as 0.02 mph (0.01 m/sec). The mission team will continue to examine telemetry and tracking data over the next week to verify the new trajectory. The maneuver targeted the spacecraft to fly through a corridor designed for the collection of high-resolution images that will be used to build a shape model of Bennu.

With the execution of AAM-4, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft concludes a six-week series of Bennu approach maneuvers. AAM-1 and AAM-2, which executed on Oct. 1 and Oct. 15 respectively, slowed the spacecraft by a total of approximately 1,088 mph (486 m/sec). AAM-3 and AAM-3A, which executed on Oct. 29 and Nov. 5 respectively, further refined the spacecraft's trajectory and speed to set the conditions for a successful AAM-4 maneuver. After a final correction maneuver scheduled for Nov. 30, the spacecraft will be on track to arrive at a position 12 miles (20 km) from Bennu on Dec. 3.

OSIRIS-REx Mission

Дата загрузки: 15 нояб. 2018 г.

Over a month-long period beginning Oct. 17, 2018, the OSIRIS-REx team conducted a series of tests to ensure that TAGSAM, the spacecraft's sampling mechanism, is ready to collect a sample from Bennu in 2020. This rehearsal marked the first time since launch that the TAGSAM arm has moved through its full range of motion.

[SIZE=8]TAGSAM Testing Complete: OSIRIS-REx Prepared to TAG an Asteroid[/SIZE]
By Christine Hoekenga

November 16, 2018 - On Nov. 14, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft stretched out its robotic sampling arm for the first time in space. The arm, more formally known as the Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM), is key to the spacecraft achieving the primary goal of the mission: returning a sample from asteroid Bennu in 2023.


This image, showing the OSIRIS-REx Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) sampling head extended from the spacecraft at the end of the TAGSAM arm, was taken by the SamCam camera on Nov. 14, 2018 during a visual checkout of the spacecraft's sampling system. A similar observation will be taken at Bennu during sample collection to help document the asteroid material collected in the TAGSAM head. Credit: NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona

As planned, engineers at Lockheed Martin commanded the spacecraft to move the arm through its full range of motion – flexing its shoulder, elbow, and wrist "joints." This long-awaited stretch, which was confirmed by telemetry data and imagery captured by the spacecraft's SamCam camera, demonstrates that the TAGSAM head is ready to collect a sample of loose dirt and rock (called regolith) from Bennu's surface.
Спойлер
"The TAGSAM exercise is an important milestone, as the prime objective of the OSIRIS-REx mission is to return a sample of Bennu to Earth," said Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx principal investigator at the University of Arizona, Tucson. "This successful test shows that, when the time comes, TAGSAM is ready to reach out and tag the asteroid."

YEARS OF INNOVATION

Lockheed Martin engineers spent more than a decade designing, building, and testing TAGSAM, which includes an 11-foot (3.35-meter) arm with three articulating joints, a round sampler head at the end of the arm that resembles the air filter in a car, and three bottles of high-pressure nitrogen gas.

This test deployment was a rehearsal for a date in mid-2020 when the spacecraft will unfold the TAGSAM arm again, slowly descend to Bennu's surface, and briefly touch the asteroid with the sampler head. A burst of nitrogen gas will stir up regolith on the asteroid's surface, which will be caught in the TAGSAM head. The TAG sequence will take about five seconds, after which the spacecraft will execute small maneuvers to carefully back away from Bennu. Afterward, SamCam will image the sampler head, as it did during the test deployment, to help confirm that TAGSAM collected at least 2.1 ounces (60 grams) of regolith.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWBALheaIMw
The TAGSAM mechanism was designed for the key challenge unique to the OSIRIS-REx mission: collecting a sample from the smallest planetary body ever to be orbited by a spacecraft. "First-of-its-kind innovations like this one serve as the precursor for future missions to small bodies," said Sandy Freund, systems engineer manager and Lockheed Martin OSIRIS-REx MSA manager. "By proving out these technologies and techniques, we are going to be able to return the largest sample from space in half a century and pave the way for other missions."

A MONTH OF TESTING

The unfolding of the TAGSAM arm was the latest and most significant step in a series of tests and check-outs of the spacecraft's sampling system, which began in October when OSIRIS-REx jettisoned the cover that protected the TAGSAM head during launch and the mission's outbound cruise phase. Shortly before the cover ejection, and again the day after, OSIRIS-REx performed two spins called Sample Mass Measurements. By comparing the spacecraft's inertial properties during these before-and-after spins, the team confirmed that the 2.67-pound (1.21-kilogram) cover was successfully ejected on Oct. 17.

A week later, on Oct. 25, the Frangibolts holding the TAGSAM arm in place fired successfully, releasing the arm and allowing the team to move it into a parked position just outside its protective housing. After resting in this position for a few weeks, the arm was fully deployed into its sampling position, its joints were tested, and images were captured with SamCam. The spacecraft will execute two additional Sample Mass Measurements over the next two days. The mission team will use these spins as a baseline to compare with the results of similar spins that will be conducted after TAG in 2020 in order to confirm the mass of the sample collected.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jJpyB8ieoc
Although the sampling system was rigorously tested on Earth, this rehearsal marked the first time that the team has deployed TAGSAM in the micro-gravity environment of space.

"The team is very pleased that TAGSAM has been released, deployed, and is operating as commanded through its full range of motion." said Rich Burns, OSIRIS-REx project manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "It has been restrained for over two years since launch, so it is gratifying to see it out of its shackles and performing well."

OSIRIS-REx is scheduled to arrive at Bennu on Dec. 3. It will spend nearly one year surveying the asteroid with five scientific instruments so that the mission team can select a location that is safe and scientifically interesting to collect the sample.

"Now that we have put TAGSAM through its paces in space and know it is ready to perform at Bennu, we can focus on the challenges of navigating around the asteroid and seeking out the best possible sample site," said Lauretta.

TAGSAM Sampler Head at Two Angles

These images show the OSIRIS-REx Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) sampling head extended from the spacecraft at the end of the TAGSAM arm. The spacecraft's SamCam camera captured the images on Nov. 14, 2018 as part of a visual checkout of the TAGSAM system, which was developed by Lockheed Martin Space to acquire a sample of asteroid material in a low-gravity environment. The imaging was a rehearsal for a series of observations that will be taken at Bennu directly after sample collection.

In the image on the left, the TAGSAM head is tilted at five degrees on the arm and is brightly illuminated by the Sun. At this angle, the light saturates the lattice-like grille that surrounds the head and illuminates its interior, providing the lighting conditions needed to document the sample of Bennu once collected. In the image on the right, the TAGSAM head is aligned with the arm to clearly show the bottom surface of the head, including the metallic pads designed to capture additional dust and small particles from Bennu's surface.

NASA будет транслировать приземление зонда на астероид в прямом эфире

Не успел посадочный модуль InSight отдохнуть от своего приземления на Красную планету, как NASA уже готовится к другому потрясающему событию. Космический аппарат Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx, если коротко) приближается к астероиду Бенну, и NASA будет транслировать встречу в прямом эфире. Само рандеву зонда с астероидом состоится в понедельник, 3 декабря. Трансляция будет вестись из центра управления миссией OSIRIS-REx, так что мы сможем увидеть всех инженеров, наблюдающих за состоянием космического аппарата.

Космический аппарат направился к своей цели в сентябре 2016 года.
«Осирис-Рекс» сядет на Бенну
Цель аппарата — приземлиться на космический камешек и заняться его исследованиями, и в NASA, конечно же, с восторгом думают о том, что аппарат мог бы найти. Но прежде чем это произойдет, ученым нужно сперва выбрать место для посадки, чтобы у OSIRIS-REx были наибольшие шансы на успех. После проведения всех необходимых замеров, посадочный модуль покинет астероид и отправится к Земле с образцом материала с Бенну.
«Космический аппарат потратит почти год на исследование астероида с помощью пяти научных приборов, чтобы выбрать место, которое будет наиболее безопасным и интересным с точки зрения науки для сбора образцов», объясняет NASA. «OSIRIS-REx вернет образцы на Землю в сентябре 2023 года».
Подробности о прямом эфире NASA, который продлится примерно полчаса, а также о самой миссии, вы еще обязательно найдете на нашем сайте, поэтому проверяйте почаще. Получаса будет достаточно, чтобы NASA смогло подтвердить безопасное приземление зонда. Пока неизвестно, впрочем, какого рода информацию мы, как зрители, сможем получить с астероида Бенну.

Американский зонд подлетит к астероиду Бенну для изучения его поверхности

ТАСС, 3 декабря. Американская межпланетная станция OSIRIS-REx в понедельник подлетит к астероиду Бенну, поверхность которого ей предстоит изучать в течение следующих двух лет. Об этом в воскресенье сообщило Национальное управление США по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA) на своей странице в Twitter.

"Завтра наш OSIRIS-REx встретится с околоземным астероидом Бенну! Он будет изучать Бенну более двух лет прежде, чем забрать и доставить образец [грунта] на Землю", - говорится в сообщении.

Tomorrow's the day for our @OSIRISREx spacecraft's rendezvous with near-Earth asteroid Bennu! It'll study Bennu for over two years, before collecting & returning a sample back to Earth. How to watch the approach live starting at 11:45am ET: https://go.nasa.gov/2FVscSY  #WelcomeToBennu

Зонд был выведен в космос 8 сентября 2016 года. В сентябре этого года он приступил к первым исследованиям - изучению пылевых выбросов вокруг Бенну, чтобы рассчитать безопасную траекторию подлета станции к астероиду.

Аппарат оснащен несколькими приборами, в том числе фотокамерами, спектрометрами и лазерным дальномером. OSIRIS-REx начнет вести планомерную съемку и картографирование поверхности астероида. На основании полученных данных эксперты выберут место для забора грунта, что планируется осуществить в середине 2020 года без посадки с помощью руки-манипулятора, снабженной специальным пневматическим устройством. NASA надеется собрать до 2 кг пыли и грунта, которые должна доставить на Землю специальная капсула в сентябре 2023 года.
Спойлер
По словам ученых, изучение грунта с Бенну поможет лучше понять, как протекало формирование Солнечной системы. Другая цель проекта - получение новых данных о строении и составе астероидов, представляющих потенциальную опасность для Земли. Впоследствии эти сведения могут быть использованы для предотвращения астероидной угрозы.

Вращающийся по эллиптической орбите вокруг Солнца Бенну, диаметр которого составляет около 550 м, был обнаружен в сентябре 1999 года. Астрономы относят его к Аполлонам - астероидам, орбиты которых пересекают орбиту Земли. Вероятность столкновения с ним составляет 1 к 4000, и некоторые эксперты не исключают, что это может произойти в конце XXII века. Падение астероида такого размера на нашу планету было бы эквивалентно взрыву мощностью 2700 мегатонн в тротиловом эквиваленте.
