We're counting down to 🥧#PiDay✨ with the math problems we use to explore space at @NASA. Can you calculate how many of @OSIRISREx's circular sample pads had to touch the asteroid Bennu to meet the mission goal. Take the #NASAPiDayChallenge at go.nasa.gov/piday

On April 7, I’ll take one last look at asteroid Bennu 🌑 I’ll spend ~4 hours capturing images from 2.4 miles (3.8 km), focusing on site Nightingale to see how Bennu’s surface was transformed by the sample collection event. More about the final flyby: go.nasa.gov/3p9Rj61

The samples from asteroid Ryugu in the re-entry capsule weigh about 5.4g! This greatly exceeds the the target yield of 0.1g (the amount required for the initial scientific analysis) set during the design of Hayabusa2. (Article in Japanese: fanfun.jaxa.jp/topics/detail/…)
