(music throughout) After imaging asteroid Bennu for the last time on April 7th, 2021,

2
00:00:04.437 --> 00:00:11.611
OSIRIS-REx fired its thrusters on May 10th on its 2 year journey to deliver asteroid samples to Earth.

3
00:00:11.611 --> 00:00:13.813
(Navigation Team Chief Pete Antreasian) The ADM burn has completed

4
00:00:13.813 --> 00:00:16.349
We had a nominal ADM burn,

5
00:00:16.349 --> 00:00:18.651
and we’re bringing our samples home!

6
00:00:18.651 --> 00:00:23.423
(applause)

7
00:00:23.423 --> 00:00:28.928
(narrator) This burn thrust the spacecraft away from the asteroid at 600 miles per hour.

8
00:00:28.928 --> 00:00:37.504
OSIRIS-REx will then orbit the Sun twice before reaching Earth on September 24th, 2023.

9
00:00:37.504 --> 00:00:41.508
It will send the capsule containing pieces of Bennu through Earth’s atmosphere

10
00:00:41.508 --> 00:00:45.445
to the Utah Test and Training Range, where it will be retrieved

11
00:00:45.445 --> 00:00:49.182
and taken to the curation facility at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

12
00:00:49.182 --> 00:00:55.321
These samples will be distributed to labs around the world for analysis for generations to come.
