[meteorite-list] meteorite-related: Aug. 11 OSIRIS-REx Live Matchpoint Rehearsal
Greetings Meteorite-friends! Tomorrow is a very important milestone for the OSIRIS-REx mission - the final rehearsal before sample collection! We invite you all to join us for a live play-by-play on Twitter August 11 at 2:30 EDT on Twitter@osirisrex (https://twitter.com/OSIRISREx) The OSIRIS-REx team will conduct its Matchpoint Maneuver Rehearsal over the Nightingale Site on asteroid Bennu. There will be a 16 minute one-way communication delay between the spacecraft and Earth. So the event commands will be uploaded to the spacecraft and the maneuver will be conducted autonomously. The low gain antenna will transmit data to Earth with images and science data downlinked when the rehearsal is completed. For more details on the Matchpoint Maneuver see: https://www.asteroidmission.org/?latest-news=nasas-osiris-rex-is-one-rehearsal-away-from-touching-asteroid-bennu We hope that all of you are doing well and that you and your families are staying healthy!
