Bennu + OSIRIS-REx TAG Sample Return 3D Explorer vs alternatives
Bennu + OSIRIS-REx TAG Sample Return 3D Explorer turns NASA's real 2020 touch-and-go sample grab into a draggable 3D scene you can replay - NASA mission materials win for authoritative published detail; the peer-reviewed Science / Science Advances studies win for the exact TAGSAM sink-depth measurement.
| Option | Strength | Access | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bennu + OSIRIS-REx 3D (this page) | Interactive replay of the descent, touchdown, and sample grab in one 3D scene | Free, in browser | Scripted two-state animation, not a contact-dynamics simulation |
| NASA OSIRIS-REx mission pages | Authoritative published mission detail and imagery | Free, published reference | No interactive 3D scene |
| Science / Science Advances (Lauretta & Walsh) | Peer-reviewed exact TAGSAM sink-depth measurement | Published papers | No interactive visualization |
Key published figures
| Figure | Value |
|---|---|
| Sample mass returned | 121.6 g (4.3 oz) |
| TAGSAM sink depth | about 48-50 cm |
| Impact risk through 2300 | about 1-in-1,750 |

Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
- No install, no sign-up. Open a tool and get a working output in seconds - nothing to download and no account to create. Tools that need heavy processing run it on our service, so even a low-powered machine gets the job done.
- Analytics stops at the page view. We measure which pages get visited, not what you type or upload inside a tool. There is nothing to sign in to and no profile is attached to your input.
- Open-source core components. The processing engines underneath (libheif, libde265, pdf-lib, terser, clean-css, ffmpeg.wasm, and others) are public and audit-able. We link to each one in its tool page's footer.
- Free, with or without ads. All tools are fully functional without sign-up. The Disable Ads button in the header is always available if you need a distraction-free run.
