1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,803 [music throughout] Over 200 million miles away from Earth, 2 00:00:03,803 --> 00:00:09,943 OSIRIS-REx is preparing for NASA’s most ambitious sample return since the Apollo program… 3 00:00:09,943 --> 00:00:12,846 After months of detailed analysis of Bennu’s terrain, 4 00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:17,217 the team selected the Nightingale crater as the sample site for the mission. 5 00:00:17,217 --> 00:00:20,587 OSIRIS-REx will need to carefully dodge rocky hazards 6 00:00:20,587 --> 00:00:24,290 as it descends to a space no larger than a few parking spots. 7 00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:28,428 The spacecraft has mapped the terrain in high-resolution, 8 00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:33,500 capturing a stunning catalog of images across Bennu’s rough surface. 9 00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:40,640 And now, we are ready 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,777 to target site Nightingale for the Touch-and-Go sampling event. 11 00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:48,181 OSIRIS-REx is prepared to begin its descent down 12 00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:51,618 to Bennu’s surface and finally collect a sample. 13 00:00:51,618 --> 00:00:55,922 Using its database of images from Nightingale as a guide for its 14 00:00:55,922 --> 00:01:01,428 onboard navigation system, Natural Feature Tracking, OSIRIS-REx will steer itself 15 00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:05,732 to the TAG location, dodging Bennu’s rocky hazards along the way. 16 00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:13,106 After years of preparation, analysis, and rehearsals, our target is in sight. 17 00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:16,409 OSIRIS-REx, is ready to TAG.
