Carbonaceous asteroids, such as (101955) Bennu, preserve material from the early Solar
System, including volatile compounds and organic molecules. We report spacecraft imaging …

Early spectral data from the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and
Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission reveal evidence for abundant hydrated …

Establishing the abundance and physical properties of regolith and boulders on asteroids is
crucial for understanding the formation and degradation mechanisms at work on their …

Planetary defense efforts rely on estimates of the mechanical properties of asteroids, which
are difficult to constrain accurately from Earth. The mechanical properties of asteroid …

The shapes of asteroids reflect interplay between their interior properties and the processes
responsible for their formation and evolution as they journey through the Solar System. Prior …

When the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft pressed its sample collection mechanism into the surface
of Bennu, it provided a direct test of the poorly understood near-subsurface physical …

Small, kilometre-sized near-Earth asteroids are expected to have young and frequently
