EARS project survey launched - Get involved! The EARS survey is addressed to the potential users of a small, low-cost satellite platform, designed to allow the recovery of the payload and to be reusable. Access the survey from: earsproject.eu/ears-survey/

The first EARS progress meeting was successfully held at T4I in Monselice (PD), Italy. The concept design of a reusable SmallSat for commercial manufacturing and scientific experiments was discussed in detail.

It's a story 4.5-billion years in the making. See what's next for the asteroid samples returned today by #OSIRISREx. Post-landing news briefing: youtube.com/watch?v=P79IZN… Mission blog: blogs.nasa.gov/osiris-rex/
