Osiris-Rex was the first space probe sent to an asteroid to gather samples for Earth. On 8 September in 2016, it was launched on its journey to the 101955 Bennu asteroid. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary [+]Loading...["Time Traveller's Diary (novel)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Although OSIRIS-REx is described in Time Traveller's Diary as being the first asteroid sample-return mission in the DWU, in real life, it was actually the third after Hayabusa and Hayabusa2.
