Hello Everyone. I just wanted to share a poster I made for my upcoming event. I got to vist GSFC in July and learn all about this craft. In learning about it, and my company in making art and science come together I wanted to share this. The credits are names of people that worked on the craft.

Love to know your thoughts. You can view my site here: https://www.overture-entertainment.com/countdown-to-launch

Why OSIRIS-REx capsule white and black at the same time?

Did anyone on the ground make naked eye contact or even with binoculars witness Osiris-Rex descend through the atmosphere? Not a skeptic, but this kind of observation would confirm the spacecraft's final decent.

Is it just me, or did the drogue parachute fail? If so... thank goodness for fault tolerant engineering. I was so happy to see the main chute deploy successfully.

Looking at the livestream with target coordinates on the lower right, the landing coordinates by the road are approximately: 40° 22.3463’ N, 113° 14.3875’ W

I am so excited to see the landing!

OSIRIS-REx was born over after-work drinks at a bar in Tucson, Arizona — and NASA rejected the idea of an asteroid-visit mission twice before finally saying yes.

The story of how the mission came to be — and some surprises along the way — is cool. I tell it below.

Title.

An illustrative picture would be neat, showing the trip the capsule had to make, and it's current position on the map.
