After traveling through space for more than 2 years, the spacecraft arrived at asteroid Bennu on Monday.
This artist's concept shows the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft contacting the asteroid Bennu. The mission aims to return a sample of Bennu's surface coating to Earth for study as well as return detailed information about the asteroid and its trajectory. Image via NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
