Description On May 25th this year, NASA announced the selection of OSIRIS-REx as part of its New FrontiersProgramme. The OSIRIS-REx mission will be launched in September, 2016, fly by the Earth for agravity 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 itssurface 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.
