The University of Arizona-led mission to bring an asteroid sample to Earth crossed another milestone this week. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully made contact with the asteroid Bennu in a brief maneuver to collect its sample. Soon after the event, Christopher Conover spoke to principal investigator Dante Lauretta about the mission’s next steps.
