The video tutorial covers the Osiris Rex mission, which launched from Cape Canaveral on September 8, 2016, to collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. The spacecraft is equipped with a touch-and-go sample acquisition mechanism, including a robotic arm and nitrogen gas to collect surface material. After collecting between 60 and 200 grams of material, the samples are stored in a heat-proof capsule. The spacecraft will return to Earth, ejecting the capsule to land in the Utah desert in September 2023.
