OSIRIS-REx on Target: TCM-12 Sets Final Course for Earth Re-entry

Today, KinetX’s OSIRIS-REx navigation team successfully performed trajectory correction maneuver #12 (TCM-12), which successfully retargeted the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to its final trajectory en route for Earth re-entry. The next major milestone will be the sample return capsule (SRC) release from the primary spacecraft and Earth atmospheric entry of the capsule on September 24.
