A careful process of storing samples collected over the weekend from the surface of the asteroid “Benno”
Samples collected from the surface of the asteroid Bennu were stored in a chamber at the end of the three-meter-long arm of the probe, but they began flying slowly into space because some of the samples formed a barrier in front of the room door and did not close tightly. And this arm was the one that touched Benno for seconds, last Tuesday, in The peak of a mission that was launched from Earth about 4 years ago, and it is believed that the probe collected about 400 grams of samples, more than the desired minimum of 60 grams, according to what the US space agency previously explained.
Scientists need to store the sample in a capsule located in the center of the probe, and the date for this process has been brought forward until Tuesday after it was set on November 2 due to the leak. The probe is scheduled to return to Earth in 2023 carrying samples of dust and pebbles, which will be the space sample. The largest ever since the Apollo missions to the Moon.
“NASA” explained that the storage process will take several days because it requires the supervision and intervention of the team. After each step of the process, the probe will send information and images back to Earth so that scientists can make sure that everything is going correctly. The probe is so far away that it takes 18.5. Minutes until his transmissions reach Earth, and any signal from the control room requires the same time to reach the “OSIERS-REX”.
