What we found in some historic asteroid samples. Discussing a record-breaking spaceflight. And our Psyche spacecraft sets sail to study a unique asteroid. A few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA! On Oct.

11 at our Johnson Space Center, we revealed the 4. 5-billion-year-old rock and dust samples from asteroid Bennu that our OSIRIS-REx mission recently delivered to Earth. Initial studies of the sample material show evidence of water and high-carbon content – which together could indicate that the building blocks of life on Earth may be found in the rock and dust. During an Oct. 13 news conference at our Johnson Space Center, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio discussed his U.

S. record-breaking 371-day spaceflight aboard the International Space Station. “It makes you appreciate how unique our planet is. When you look at our planet and you realize how perfectly it works to keep – you know – all 9 billion of us alive it’s pretty incredible. ” Extended spaceflights, like Rubio’s could provide valuable data about the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body – as we get ready to send humans back to the Moon on Artemis missions to prepare for human exploration of Mars.

“And liftoff! Liftoff of Falcon Heavy and Psyche! ” Also on Oct. 13, our Psyche spacecraft launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from our Kennedy Space Center. Psyche is on its way to a metal-rich asteroid of the same name.

The mission could teach us more about how rocky planets like Earth formed. NASA will host live coverage of the Oct. 14 annular solar eclipse starting at 11:30 a. m. EDT on NASA Television, the agency’s website, and the NASA app.

We will also stream the live coverage on several of our social media accounts. Learn more about the Oct. 14 annular eclipse, as well as the upcoming total solar eclipse that will occur April 8, 2024 at science. nasa. gov/eclipses.

That’s what’s up this week @NASA. For more about what else we’re up to check out nasa. gov.
