ASTEROIDS

Asteroid impacts can and do happen. Events like Tunguska in 1908 and Chelyabinsk in 2013 are good reminders that space is full of Near-Earth Asteroids that could one day significantly impact our planet, destroying an area as big as the largest cities. Several technologies to deflect asteroids have been proposed under the umbrella of the Planetary Defense program. DART will be the first planetary defense mission to test a method of deflection called a kinetic impactor. DART will launch between November 2021 and February 2022 and will arrive at the near-Earth asteroid Didymos in September 2022. The spacecraft won't slow down, intentionally crashing into the asteroid's small moon Dimorphos. The crash should change the time it takes Dimorphos to orbit Didymos, proving whether the kinetic impactor technique works. We invited planetary astronomer Andy Rivkin of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and one of two investigative team leads on DART, to discuss this mission, its goals, and objectives with Franck Marchis, SETI Institute Senior Astronomer & Chief Scientific Officer at Unistellar.

Meet Hera, our very own asteroid detective. Together with two CubeSats – Milani the rock decoder and Juventas the radar visionary – Hera is off on an adventure to explore Didymos, a double asteroid system that is typical of the thousands that pose an impact risk to planet Earth. Suitable for kids and adults alike, this episode of ‘The Incredible Adventures of Hera’ takes you on a fun and informative journey to visit Didymos together with Hera. Along the way, you will discover who the main characters are, why this mission is so important, what ESA hopes to achieve with Hera and much more.

After nearly five years in space, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is on its way back to Earth with an abundance of rocks and dust from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. On Monday, May 10, 2021, at 4:23 p.m. EDT the spacecraft fired its main engines full throttle for seven minutes – its most significant maneuver since it arrived at Bennu in 2018. This burn thrust the spacecraft away from the asteroid at 600 miles per hour (nearly 1,000 kilometers per hour), setting it on a 2.5-year cruise towards Earth. After orbiting the Sun twice, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is due to reach Earth Sept. 24, 2023. Upon return, the capsule containing pieces of Bennu will separate from the rest of the spacecraft and enter Earth’s atmosphere. The capsule will parachute to the Utah Test and Training Range in Utah’s West Desert, where scientists will be waiting to retrieve it.

There are thousands of asteroids which regularly come close to the earth and have a chance of one day hitting the Earth, potentially causing a major disaster. However despite the laws of physics enabling us to predict the motion of the planets with precision for thousands of years, we can't do the same for these asteroids, because they all end up having a close approach with the Earth that makes it almost impossible to predict their orbit after this. Thanks to Rusty Schweickart for suggesting this subject.

Join Cathy Olkin, Deputy Principal Investigator for NASA’s Lucy mission, Franck Marchis, Unistellar’s Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Planetary Astronomer at the SETI Institute, and citizen astronomers Rachel Knight and actor and musician Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager) on a chat about directly contributing to space exploration. On May 9, 2021, five Unistellar citizen astronomers successfully contributed to the detection of Trojan asteroid Patroclus as it occulted (passed in front of) a star, momentarily blocking its light. Occultations are challenging to observe, as they are only briefly visible and from a limited part of the Earth. Patroclus’ shadow was traveling at 17.5 km/s along a path across the United States, from California to Wisconsin. Later this year, the NASA Lucy spacecraft will launch and be the very first mission to study Trojan asteroids. Lucy will visit seven different Trojan asteroids during its mission, including the Patroclus binary system (and its companion Menoetius). Lucy will provide new insights into these primordial objects that formed the planets of our solar system, the origins of Earth, and perhaps even the formation of life. Citizen astronomers’ contributions, together with the campaign organized by Marc Buie of SWRI for NASA, will assist the Lucy spacecraft safely navigate as it flies by Patroclus binary system in 2033.

OSIRIS-REx has imaged Bennu in higher resolution than we have Earth and our own Moon. Since its arrival at the asteroid on Dec. 3, 2018, the spacecraft has discovered boulders the size of buildings, and imaged the surface down to 5 centimeter-per-pixel resolution. Its cameras captured stunning footage of the sample collection event on Oct. 20, 2020. OSIRIS-REx imaged Bennu for the last time on April 7, 2021, and will return to Earth in 2023 with samples it collected from the asteroid's surface.

Join us live at 4 p.m. EDT, Mon., May 10, as our OSIRIS-REx mission bids farewell to near-Earth asteroid Bennu. At 4:16 p.m., the spacecraft will fire its main thrusters and start its long journey home, carrying precious asteroid material that it will return to Earth in 2023. Watch the countdown to engine burn, as mission team members reflect on the challenges and success of studying and sampling Bennu. Members of the science team will also provide a look ahead to retrieving the sample of Bennu, and what it might tell us about the history of the solar system and our own origins.

A look back at OSIRIS-REx’s time at Asteroid Bennu starting with the Touch-and-Go (TAG) sample acquisition event from Oct. 20, 2020, and leading up to its departure from the asteroid on May 10, 2021.

101955 Bennu is one of Earth’s closest planetary neighbors – an asteroid roughly the height of a skyscraper, and since late 2018, the place that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has called home. When OSIRIS-REx arrived on Dec. 3, 2018, it began wrapping Bennu in a complex web of observations. OSIRIS-REx departs Bennu on May 10, 2021, on a return voyage to Earth, bringing with it over 60 grams of sample collected from the asteroid. This narrated video presents the mission’s complete trajectory during its time at Bennu.

Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are small solar system bodies in orbits that come near or cross the orbit of Earth. I will review NEAs as unique physical worlds, as potential impact hazards to Earth, and as accessible destinations for spacecraft. Michael W. Busch, PhD, is a planetary astronomer and research scientist at the SETI Institute. His research focuses primarily on studying individual asteroids with radar and radio technique; to understand their histories, rule out future Earth impacts, and support space missions.

Tuesday, April 27 at 8 pm ET, discover how we sampled an asteroid — and what we hope to learn when the samples return to Earth, featuring Smithsonian geologist Tim McCoy. Register: https://s.si.edu/30QkFMH Last year, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission accomplished something not done in nearly 50 years by a U.S. space mission — sampling the surface of another planetary body for return to Earth. In this talk, you'll hear about the 15 year odyssey of proposing, building, and launching OSIRIS-REx, leading up to a year-long orbital mission and the moment OSIRIS-REx sampled the surface of asteroid Bennu. As we wait for the return of these samples in 2023, you’ll hear from National Museum of Natural History geologist Tim McCoy about how these samples may hold the key to understanding the formation of Earth, providing the raw materials for life and oceans.  The Exploring Space Lecture Series is made possible by the generous support of Aerojet Rocketdyne and United Launch Alliance.
