Apophis is the only asteroid which the spacecraft could reach for a long-duration rendezvous, rather than a brief flyby. In April 2022, the extension was approved, and OSIRIS-REx will perform a rendezvous with Apophis in April 2029, a few days after the close approach to Earth. It will study the asteroid for 18 months and perform a maneuver ...
Further observations eventually allowed astronomers in 2021 to rule out the possibility of an impact when Apophis makes the close flyby to Earth in April 2029. There's also no risk during another ...
These images represent radar observations of Apophis on March 8, 9 and 10, 2021, as it made its last close approach before its 2029 Earth encounter. The data ruled out any chance of Earth impact ...
Apophis to make 2029 flyby to Earth. Apophis is projected to pass within 20,000 miles of our planet’s surface on April 13, 2029. ... 2022, ahead of the September 26 project test mission. The ...
This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2029. CNSA Planned to launch the Tianwen-4 Jupiter orbiter and Uranus flyby spacecraft in 2029. Russia expects to launch the Venera-D Venus Orbiter in 2029.
On 25 April 2022, NASA confirmed that the mission would be extended. After dropping off its sample to Earth on 24 September 2023, the mission became OSIRIS-APEX ('APophis EXplorer'). [77] As the new name suggests, its next target will be the near-Earth asteroid (and potentially hazardous object) 99942 Apophis. Apophis will make an extremely ...
Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists Lance Benner, Paul Chodas and Mark Haynes are studying the 1,100-foot wide asteroid Apophis, which will come within viewing distance of Earth on April 13, 2029.
2029 April 13 Near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis will pass Earth at a relatively small distance of 31,200 km (19,400 mi) above Earth's surface, closer than some geosynchronous satellites. [5] 2029 June 26 Total lunar eclipse. With an umbral eclipse magnitude of 1.84362, it will be the largest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century. 2029 ...
