Thanks, Paul. Great info and photos.  Bennu's surface looks very rocky.  Can't 
wait for the actual sampling in 2 months!!  Bummer that it will take 3 more 
years to get the samples back to Earth!  Sam

The following is a link to a description of the OSIRIS-REx Natural Features 
Tracking system that will be used to maneuver OSIRIS-Rex into a safe position 
and location to perform its touch and go sample collection of Bennu. This 
system was used today in the Matchpoint Rehearsal that was the second rehearsal 
of the procedure developed to collect a sample.
