NASA is set to broadcast the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample collection activities, marking a significant milestone in the mission. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which was launched in 2016, has been orbiting the asteroid Bennu since 2018, gathering crucial data and preparing for the sample collection process. The upcoming broadcast will provide a unique opportunity for the public to witness the spacecraft's historic attempt to collect a sample from the asteroid's surface.

The sample collection activities are scheduled to take place on October 20, and NASA will provide live coverage of the event on its website and social media channels. The broadcast will include real-time footage of the spacecraft's descent to the asteroid's surface, as well as commentary from mission experts. The OSIRIS-REx mission aims to return a sample from Bennu to Earth in 2023, which will help scientists better understand the formation and evolution of our solar system.
