This last week the mission team continued the analysis of data obtained during the Launch + 18 months payload checkout and extended OCAMS and TAGCAMS calibrations. The team also concurrently worked through week 5 of the Operational Readiness Test simulation, which replicates the mission’s operations schedule for late Fall.

The spacecraft passed the 20 million km range-to-Bennu mark this week and is currently 19.5 million km from Bennu.
