Scientists had invented a device that can reveal the origin of life in the Solar system.
NASA specialists have developed a tool called Osiris-Rex that will allow you to identify resources. The cost of this project cost $ 800 million. The unmanned spacecraft will travel to an asteroid called Benn’s located near the Ground.
Its purpose is to collect space dust, which may contain materials necessary for life – carbon and ice. The start of the device will be held on 8 September with the air force station at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Regarding the return of the object on the Ground, then it will not happen until 2023. The innovation of American scientists, in their opinion, should collect much more material than a similar device Japanese aerospace exploration Agency, launched in 2003.
By the way, the Hayabusa mission encountered some difficulties with the movement of staff that had to make an emergency landing on the surface of the target. NASA spacecraft designed to collect at least 60 grams of substances. According to preliminary data, because of its texture, the device can accommodate more than 300 grams. The Agency chose the asteroid Bennu 500 000 studied in the Solar system because it has the right size, which is extremely easy to land. In addition, it is rich in carbon dust deposited several billion years ago.
