OSIRIS-REx Sample Collection Location
OSIRIS-REx Sample Collection Location This mosaic of the primary sample collection site for NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission was created with 345 images captured by the spacecraft on 3 March 2020. OSIRIS-REx was 250 meters (820 feet) above the surface at the time. The specific collection site is the relatively rock-free area in the middle. The boulder in the upper-right is 13 meters (45 feet) wide on its longest axis. NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona
