[La mission] OSIRIS-REx caractérisera en détail l'astéroïde Bennu et rapportera un échantillon sur Terre pour qu'il soit analysé. Elle aidera les scientifiques à mieux déterminer l'orbite de l'astéroïde afin de fournir des données plus concluantes sur le type de menace que représente Bennu pour notre planète. Elle permettra ainsi de mieux prédire les probabilités qu'il entre en collision avec la Terre dans un avenir plus ou moins rapproché et aussi d'améliorer nos connaissances sur la composition de l'astéroïde, ce qui fournira des indices sur la façon dont les planètes se sont formées et sur l'apparition de la vie. Lancement réussi le 8 septembre 2016, l'OSIRIS-REx aura atteint Bennu en 2018 et rapportera l'échantillon en 2023. 3, record 1, French, - Origins%2C%20Spectral%20Interpretation%2C%20Resource%20Identification%2C%20Security%20%2D%20Regolith%20Explorer
