Watch OSIRIS-REx Approach Asteroid Bennu

Wanted to share my closest view yet of asteroid Bennu from yesterday’s rehearsal!

This series of images was captured during the 10-minute span between the Checkpoint burn, ~394 ft (120 m) above the surface, and the back-away burn, which occurred ~213 ft (65 m) above the surface. pic.twitter.com/j0yjPZnOKX
