The OSIRIS-REx Spacecraft completed a 0.4-mile flyover of Osprey, the secondary sample collection site of Bennu. Preliminary telemetry determined that the Laser Altimeter was not operating as the team expected during the event. This instrument was meant to provide ranging data to the PolyCam onboard the spacecraft and would allow the camera to focus while collecting observations of the surface.
