NAVIGATION & MISSION DESIGN BRANCH, CODE 595 NASA GSFC Asteroid Bennu (RQ36) 2 Arecibo Observatory Mission Goals About Bennu Type B Carbonaceous – rich in organics 500m in diameter Eccentricity 0.204 Rotates every 4.5hrs. Approaches Earth every 6 years Measure Yarkovsky effect Return organic-rich regolith to Earth Characterize surface properties
