The OSIRIS-REx mission will hang out around the 1,640-foot-wide (500 meters) Bennu until May 10, 2021 before traveling roughly 185 million miles (298 million kilometers) back towards Earth and deliver its asteroid sample to scientists on Sept. 24, 2023.

OSIRIS-REx was a historic achievement for NASA and mankind—it was just thrilling to see what we are capable of! Congrats to the NASA team...

TAI supplied the copper thermal straps to the RExIS instrument on the craft, and we were proud to be a part of this program.
If anyone here on space.com would like to discuss collaboration on a spaceflight thermal management issue, we would be happy to provide thermal straps at no charge.
