How to Explore Bennu + OSIRIS-REx TAG Sample Return 3D Explorer
Open Bennu + OSIRIS-REx TAG Sample Return 3D Explorer, click "Simulate TAG", and read the returned-sample figures in the facts panel.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/bennu-osiris-rex.html and wait for the rotating, boulder-scattered asteroid Bennu and the parked OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to render.
- Click "Simulate TAG" and watch the spacecraft descend toward the surface.
- Watch the arm extend, touch down, and sink further into the surface as a pale particle burst fires - the real nitrogen-gas sample-collection puff.
- Read the facts panel: it flips to the TAG-complete figures, including the real 121.6 g sample mass and the 24 September 2023 Earth return date.
- Click "Reset" to return to the idle state and replay the sequence, or drag to orbit and scroll/pinch to zoom for a closer look.
