OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Mission to Bennu: A Familiar and a Foreign World
Wednesday June 9, 2021
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has made important scientific discoveries along its journey and overcome unforeseen challenges including house-sized boulders in its path and pandemic. The mission combines the best of engineering, astronomy, remote sensing, and sample analysis, making ground-truth comparisons of distant astronomical observations and asteroid materials up close. Bennu is a “rubble-pile” asteroid that reveals information about primordial asteroid formation and history of the Solar System. On October 20, 2020, the never-before-tried Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) collected an abundance of precious, pristine samples that will return to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023. We expect the returned samples to reveal important details about Bennu’s parent asteroid and organic materials important to life. This talk will explore some amazing ways the science team was able to combine data from its perfect suite of instruments to select the best sample site and help the sample analysis team compare meteorite types in laboratories that may be similar to Bennu… or not.
Biography: Dolores H. Hill Sr. Research Specialist, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona
Since 1981 Dolores has analyzed a wide range of meteorites at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in Tucson, AZ, provided technical support, and participated in public outreach for space missions and LPL laboratories. Dolores currently works with sample teams for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission, LPL laboratories, and coordinates LPL outreach activities. Dolores has a lifelong interest in amateur astronomy. Near-Earth asteroid (164215) Doloreshill is named after her.

Quantum Lab Tour With Dr. Zhang

MUST RSVP TO ATTEND THIS TOUR.

Come learn about the develop broadband quantum communication networks that are deployed in both fiber-based and free-space channels. State-of-the-art entangled-photon sources and non-conventional detection technologies are leveraged to increase the bandwidth and communication distance of quantum communication networks. The goal of this research thrust is to demonstrate functionalities for a quantum network that offers unconditional classical communication security and distributes entanglement at a global scale.

Meet Dr. Zheshen Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. He received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2006 and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2011. During his Ph.D., Zhang split his time between Georgia Tech’s main campus in Atlanta and its Lorraine campus in Metz, France. Dr. Zhang joined MIT in 2012 as a Postdoctoral Associate and became a Research Scientist in 2015.

Dr. Zhang's research encompasses a broad swath of the experimental and theoretical aspects of quantum information science. Dr. Zhang studies new materials and light-matter interactions that give rise to unique quantum phenomena. These quantum phenomena are in turn leveraged in quantum-optics and nanophotonic platforms to implement devices that serve as building blocks for scalable quantum information processing. In conjunction with theoretical investigations on quantum protocols, Dr. Zhang's research gives rise to novel applications in diverse fields ranging from non-invasive sensing to telecommunications with provable security.
