Greetings meteorite friends!

in asteroid Bennu as the OSIRIS-REx mission prepares to explore and
collect a sample of regolith for return to Earth. The mission is passing
some important milestones soon:

    Wednesday?s PBS NewsHour. Check your local listing. We hope you
    enjoy it!

    For those who might be in the Tucson, Arizona area this weekend,
    stop by Flandrau Science Center on the University of Arizona campus
    for "Asteroid Ahoy!" weekend! Meet-and-greet OCAMS lead Dr. Bashar
    Rizk at 2pm on Saturday, Mission Principal Investigator Dr. Dante
    Lauretta at 2pm on Sunday, and fellow OSIRIS-REx Ambassadors who
