| Description | On May 25th this year, NASA announced the selection of OSIRIS-REx as part of its New Frontiers Programme. The OSIRIS-REx mission will be launched in September, 2016, fly by the Earth for a gravity assist in September, 2017, and encounter the carbonaceous asteroid 1999 RQ36 in November, 2019. Proximity operations at the asteroid last through March 2021, acquiring up to 60 g sample of its surface material. The Sample Return Capsule shall return to the Earth surface on September 25, 2023. |

| Mission Description | Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities. |
