Nightingale Sample Site Buzzed by OSIRIS-REx

The OSIRIS-REx mission's sample collection event captured a series of images on April 14, showing the SamCam instrument's field of view as the spacecraft approached and moved away from asteroid Bennu's surface. The images were recorded over a ten-minute span between the "Checkpoint" burn and the back-away burn. The spacecraft's sampling arm, Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism, is visible in the central frame.
