OSIRIS-Rex: In Search of Life. Tracking Asteroids.
OSIRIS-REx is bringing pristine samples collected from the asteroid Bennu back to Earth. Asteroids may hold key information for understanding the formation of the Solar System and the origin of life on Earth. This handful of material could contain organic molecules older than the Solar System that could be the building blocks from which life originates.
