NASA's Osiris-Apex Spacecraft Conducts Earth Flyby En Route to Asteroid Apophis
NASA's Osiris-Apex spacecraft performed a close flyby of Earth, passing approximately 3,438 kilometers above the surface. This maneuver adjusted the spacecraft's speed for its journey to study the asteroid Apophis. During the pass, Osiris-Apex captured video footage of Earth, showcasing the Atlantic Ocean and South America. The mission continues the work of Osiris-Rex, which returned samples from asteroid Bennu, and will now observe Apophis's surface changes after its 2029 Earth encounter.
