Description
An Atlas V provides the power to boost OSIRIS-REx mission with 1.2 million pounds of thrust from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station a half hour before sunset. Leaving Earth for a seven year mission, the two ton payload will take two years to reach Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid. After taking photos from a low orbit, the spacecraft will get close enough to capture some samples and return them to earth in 2023.
