  3. 3 Webinar Format
  4. 4 Today's Speaker
  5. 5 One of the best ways to understand an object is to establish its composition. An object's composition can provide information on for example
  6. 6 To study the original materials from which the Solar System was made, don't look to planets for help - they destroy the Raw Stuff from which they were made
  7. 7 Much of our current inventory of meteorites available for study comes from Antarctica Why collect from Antarctica given the obvious hazards and difficulties?
  8. 8 The real reasons we find a lot of meteorites in Antarctica
  9. 9 ANSMET and some (In)famous Antarctic meteorites
  10. 10 Unfortunately, collected samples of meteorites and cosmic dust particles are almost all orphans' - we don't know exactly where they come from
  11. 11 The Advantages of Sample Return Missions
  12. 12 Two Past Sample Return Missions - NASA's Stardust Comet Sample Return Mission JAXA's Hayabusa Asteroid Sample Return Mission
  13. 13 Stardust took advantage of Comet Wild 2's wild ride through the Solar System
  14. 14 STARDUST's Orbital Trajectory
  15. 15 The STARDUST Spacecraft
  16. 16 The Aerogel Collector Array (The Stardust catcher's mitt)
  17. 17 Particles can survive hypervelocity impacts into aerogel, but are largely destroyed if they hit something hard like metal
  18. 18 Material was collected as Stardust flow through the coma of 81P/Wild 2
  19. 19 the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR)
  20. 20 The Capsule Landing Site January 15, 2006
  21. 21 Unequilibrated Materials
  22. 22 Protosolar Nebular Mixing
  23. 23 Organics are present and Varied
  24. 24 Mostly Protosolar, not Presolar
  25. 25 But Deuterium and 1SN Enrichments in the Organics are Not Uncommon
  26. 26 Stardust Top Hits List - Summary
  27. 27 HXA The Japanese Hayabusa ("Falcon") Asteroid Sample Return Mission
  28. 28 Itokawa is not a very large asteroid and appears to be a "rubble pile"
  29. 29 Putting Itokawa in Scale (bigger than the Space Station)
  30. 30 Itokawa appears to be a "Rubble Pile"- it has relatively few craters and lots of boulders
  31. 31 The sampling attempt on November 20, 2005 did not go perfectly
  32. 32 Reentry and Recovery of the Hayabusa SRC June 2010 - Right on target
  33. 33 The Victorious Cleanroom Crew after the Opening of the Sample Canister
  34. 34 Once we knew we had particles for analyses, JAXA began distributing them to Preliminary Examination Team (PET) members for multiple types of analysis
  35. 35 Examples of Hayabusa Particles
  36. 36 Summary of Hayabusa Results
  37. 37 Current Sample Return Missions: OSIRIS-REX and Hayabusa2
  38. 38 OUR TARGET ASTEROID - 101955 Bennu (provisional designation 1999 RQ36)
  39. 39 OSIRIS-REX INSTRUMENT PAYLOAD
  40. 40 TOUCH-AND-GO SAMPLE ACQUISITION SYSTEM (TAGSAM) and Sample Return Capsule Operation
  41. 41 Earth Gravity Assist - 21 Sept 2017
  42. 42 Getting to know Bennu
  43. 43 Crater candidates
  44. 44 Record Setting Orbit (x2)
  45. 45 Spectroscopy: Widespread Hydrated Minerals
  46. 46 Bennu is an Active Asteroid!
  47. 47 AN OSIRIS-REX FAST: MEASURING A PLANETARY MASS USING RADAR AND INFRARED ASTRONOMY
  48. 48 BENNU HAS MULTIPLE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPACT WITH THE EARTH
  49. 49 Candidate Sample Sites
  50. 50 Checkpoint Rehearsal
  51. 51 Remember returned samples are a legacy that will be used by scientists for years to come
