As NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft's Touch-And-Go asteroid sample collection attempt approaches, Southwest Research Institute scientists have helped determine what the spacecraft can expect to return from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu's surface. SwRI scientists also played a role in sample site selection, including the primary site Nightingale shown here.
