Did NASA make a mistake in taking a sample from the surface of the Bennu asteroid?



Washington, October 8, 2020, Monday

NASA's spacecraft Osiris Rex has succeeded in bringing a sample from the nearest asteroid two to Earth, but this success could cost NASA dearly. According to a NASA official, small fragments of the asteroid samples that were taken are leaking into space. The robotic part of the robotic spacecraft collided with the Bennu asteroid in a controlled manner on Tuesday last week. The piece was then trapped in a collection device 200 million miles away. The purpose was to bring samples from two asteroids. It was later learned from various photographs that a larger piece than the estimate was taken in the collection device.


The remains of this piece were scattered in space. NASA team is trying to prevent this leakage. For this it is necessary to control the collection device. It is assumed that the leakage cannot be accurately estimated as the device is not stable. If the leak continues, it will not be possible to estimate how many samples were actually taken on the asteroid when NASA's spacecraft 202 returns. The ૮ 500 million minivan-shaped spacecraft, built by US arms company Lockheed Martin, was launched in 2013. The spacecraft will return with samples from the ancient asteroid, although it is unlikely to return to Earth by March 2021.
