TORONTO, Sept. 21, 2023 - The much-anticipated arrival of the Bennu asteroid sample to Earth means researchers across Canada and the world will be able to study it to better learn about the origins of the solar system, thanks in part to work led by a 91亚色 professor at the Lassonde School of Engineering. This Sunday morning, NASA鈥檚 OSIRIS-REx plans to make that brief, but key pit stop back to earth鈥檚 orbit to parachute a package to the Utah desert, and Mike Daly, 91亚色 Research Chair in Planetary Science with the Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science (CRESS) couldn鈥檛 be more excited.
