NOTE: OSIRIS-REx is a probe. A
probe is a spacecraft that travels through space to collect science
information. Probes do not have astronauts. Probes send data back to Earth for
scientists to study. Sputnik 1 was the first probe to go into space.
(by Michael Sheetz, CNBC) — NASA
made history Tuesday after a space probe successfully collected samples from
the surface of an asteroid during a carefully orchestrated, hours-long maneuver
in orbit.
After spending nearly two years
circling the near-Earth asteroid Bennu,
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft used
its robotic arm to gather pieces of the space rock that will subsequently be
sent to Earth for study. The event marks an important milestone for NASA: It’s
the first time the agency has gathered samples from an asteroid in space] – a
feat that only Japan has pulled off before but in smaller quantities.
…The OSIRIS-REx – an acronym that
stands for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification,
Security, Regolith Explorer – is the NASA spacecraft that represents
the culmination of years of work. The mission launched in Sept. 2016, with a
total cost of $800 million.
“Everything I’ve worked on has been
focused on this day, getting the spacecraft down to contact the asteroid and
collect the sample,” Dr. Dante Lauretta, a professor of Planetary
Science and Cosmochemistry at the University of Arizona and the leader of the mission,
told CNBC.
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft itself is
about the size of a large van: 20 feet long, 9 feet wide, 10 feet tall, with an
11 foot arm that will reach down to grab material in a maneuver NASA calls “tagging” the
asteroid. The spacecraft was built by Lockheed Martin’s space division.
“What deep space missions are able
to discover is directly applicable to [NASA’s other efforts, such as] lunar
exploration,” Lockheed Martin director of deep space exploration Ari
Vogel told CNBC.
OSIRIS-REx is more than 200 million
miles from Earth, having arrived at Bennu in Dec 2018 after two years of
travel. NASA spent most of 2019 surveying Bennu with the instruments on board
the spacecraft, to further inform its tag attempt. NASA announced in Dec. 2019
that OSIRIS-REx would target a location on Bennu named Nightingale,
which is where Tuesday’s material collection occurred.
Bennu is “the best characterized
asteroid astronomically in history,” Lauretta said. Like the Earth, the
asteroid is in orbit around the Sun. At the time of the attempt, Bennu was
on the opposite side of the Sun, meaning there is a communications time delay
of about 19 minutes between Lockheed Martin’s mission control in
Colorado and the spacecraft at the asteroid.
[PBS Nova reports: Just the
task of successfully touching down on Bennu was an achievement in accuracy and
precision. After traveling some 207 million miles to the asteroid, the
spacecraft attempted to descend safely to a spot the size of two parking
spaces—and touched down within a meter of its target. And although the descent
process took more than four hours, the touchdown itself had to be
pre-programmed and carried out autonomously, since it takes almost 19
minutes for a signal to travel from Earth to OSIRIS-REx’s current location. ]
“When we’re talking to the
spacecraft, we have these giant antennas that are all over the world that send
a signal that goes past the sun, and then another distance across the solar
system, and then it reaches the spacecraft,” Lauretta said.
Lauretta is in charge of the
scientific goals of the mission, primarily selecting the site to collect the
materials.
“Once I made that selection, I
handed it over to the engineering team and spacecraft team, which Lockheed
Martin is responsible for,” Lauretta said. [Moments after making contact with
Bennu, Lauretta said, “I can’t believe we actually pulled this off!]”
…OSIRIS-REx aimed to collect between
two ounces and five pounds of Bennu’s material to deliver back to Earth. It’s
the largest such sample return from space since the Apollo moon missions.
NASA hopes the samples collected
will include new scientific discoveries, in addition to the benefits from new
technologies developed by the mission. …
The OSIRIS-REx team also chose Bennu
for planetary defense purposes. While it’s just one of more than 500,000 known
asteroids in the solar system, Bennu has a “high probability of impacting Earth
in the late 22nd century.” That may be more than 150 years away, but NASA
wanted to study the asteroid now to discover how the agency might be able to
keep it from crashing into the Earth.
[NBC noted: “Bennu is located more
than 200 million miles away from Earth but has an orbit that can swing it to
within 4.6 million miles of the planet. As such, Bennu and other near-Earth asteroids
are classified as potentially hazardous objects. NASA’s Planetary Defense
Coordination Office has calculated that there is a 1 in 2,700 chance of Bennu
hitting Earth sometime between the years 2175 and 2199”].
“Understanding these rubble piles and
how their orbits change is greatly helpful for any potential mitigation
missions that we have to do in the future,” Lockheed’s Vogel said. “The
Hollywood version of putting a bomb on an asteroid and blowing it up isn’t
going to work based on what we’ve discovered with Bennu.”
Lauretta added that, since “it’s
mostly American taxpayers who are paying for this mission,” he takes the
responsibility of seeking worthwhile new findings “very seriously” – a
consideration that he said certainly includes an asteroid intersecting with the
Earth.
“It’s a relatively large asteroid,
so it would ruin your day,” Lauretta said.
“Asteroids are nature’s way of
asking: ‘how’s your space program coming along?’ Because someday in the future
humanity may need to mount a mission to deflect this asteroid or another
asteroid from hitting us. We have developed an amazing array of technologies
for getting out to an asteroid, doing all kinds of precision maneuvering around
this asteroid, characterizing it in great detail … all of that will be relevant
to any kind of future asteroid impact mitigation mission.”
….. Vogel noted that “the days after
tag are going to be almost as exciting,” because it’s when the OSIRIS-REx
spacecraft will relay back whether it collected enough material to head back.
The spacecraft has fuel for two more capture attempts if not, which would take
a few months to coordinate.
The “key decision point” will be on
Oct. 30, Lauretta said, as that’s when the team will “make the decision of
whether we have enough sample and we succeeded.”
The spacecraft is scheduled to
depart Bennu early next year, traveling back to Earth where it is expected to
arrive in September 2023.

1. Answer the following:
a) cost of the mission
b) date the mission launched from earth
c) date the OSIRIS-REx probe reached the asteroid Bennu
d) length of time the probe spent orbiting the asteroid before making contact
e) what did the OSIRIS-REx do between arriving at the asteroid and making
contact to collect samples
f) distance of the asteroid Bennu from earth
g) size of the space probe OSIRIS-REx
2. Why was there over an 18 minute
delay between what the probe was doing and the control center receiving that
information?
3. What makes the actual touch down
of the probe on the asteroid such an astounding feat? Be specific.
4. What does NASA say are benefits
of the program to reach the asteroid and collect samples? (see para. 14, 20)
5. What 2-3 words would you use to
describe the scientists/researchers working on this project?
6. CNBC also noted in the aricle:
Ahead of the touchdown, Lauretta
said that the OSIRIS-REx team created “a very detailed map of the asteroid” to
find the right target spot. The spacecraft didn’t technically land on the
asteroid, Vogel explained, for a number of reasons. Primarily, Vogel said that
Bennu has its own micro-gravity environments, so “any sort of force can greatly
perturb the asteroid’s orbit” and make it “really tricky” to control the
spacecraft. That’s why the teams created the “touch-and-go-maneuver,” so the
spacecraft would only gently touch the asteroid before backing away.
To make that possible, Lockheed
Martin and NASA developed a technology called natural feature tracking. It’s a
precise autonomous guidance system that directs the spacecraft down to a
planetary surface.
“We’re the first mission to use
this,” Lauretta said.

preguntas.
Name Date W.E.B. Du Bois 1868-1963 Part 1 -
Read the informational text below. Highlight two sentences you find
interesting. Share them with a peer. William Edward Burghardt (W.E.B.) Du Bois
was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts in 1868. Du Bois’ father left the
family before Du Bois’ second birthday. His mother suffered a stroke when Du
Bois was still a young child. His mother could no longer work. Du Bois had to
work to support himself and his mother. Even though this was di‑cult, Du Bois
still focused on his studies. He believed that education could make their lives
better. Du Bois became the first person in his family to go to high school.
W.E.B. Du Bois spoke about his disagreements with another well known black
voice of the time, Booker T. Washington. Washington believed that African
Americans should accept discrimination for the time being. He thought African
Americans should focus on working hard and gaining skills in jobs like farming.
W.E.B. Du Bois did not agree. He argued for complete black integration and
equal rights. Du Bois believed it was important to end all discrimination
against African Americans as soon as possible. In 1885, W.E.B. Du Bois moved to
Nashville, Tennessee, to attend Fisk University. Fisk University is a
historically African American university. After completing his master’s degree,
he studied in Germany at the University of Berlin. In 1895, he became the first
African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University. W.E.B. Du Bois helped
found the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) in
1909. W.E.B. Du Bois died one day before Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his
famous "I Have a Dream" speech, which spoke about integration and
equal rights for African Americans. 1.- Why did W.E.B. Du Bois believe that
education was important?
