if the sample collection was successful cyrus rex will begin its long journey home and return to earth and 2023. more on this let's bring in david brown an astronomer at the university of warwick thanks for being with us dr brown 1st of all tell us why is this mission so important. good morning as a couple of main reasons really for this mission being so such a big landmark and the 1st is that bennett is a prime mortal objects we think it hasn't changed the origin of the solar system since the planets were formed so by studying this asteroid we can really learn a lot about the earth its formation and how the solar system has interacted through history and the other reason is that there is a very low chance but a chance nonetheless that benu will have some close encounters with the ethnic future. great talking centuries in the future so by learning more about it we can study those potential and close encounters and see see how likely they lie might truly be. if you're still with us we have seem to lost you there for a moment we're talking about a 4 year journey good to hear you a 4 year

cyrus rex blasted off from cape canaveral in florida 4 years ago it arrived at benito in 2018 and has been mapping its surface ever since scientists say the sample collected may help unravel some of the mysteries of the solar system. space in the solar system or he's right and what's left over in the solar system for 40 years now and so i look. under letter and start to understand that your idea was true and it made it so that's really. if the mission is successful the sample will be delivered to earth in september 2023 victoria gate to be al jazeera. this is out there these are the top stories in several countries across latin america expected to reach 1000000 cases of covert 19 in the coming weeks argentina has become the 5th nation in the world to reach the 1000000 mark despite having in force one of the world's longest lockdowns. thousands of nigerians are defying a curfew in lagos state to continue protests against police brutality nigeria's police chief has ordered anti rot officers to prevent violent demonstrations people also brought to the international airport on monday. the

to the gravitational poll, cyrus rex couldn't land on the surface and used a robotic arm.et at least two grams of the carbon-rich material that's believed to be the building blocks of our solar system and then they're going to try to bring them back to earth to study them. scientists won't know for about a while if all was successful until the photos are transferred back to earth. leaving the possibility of the spacecraft, and arrive back on earth by 2023. pretty cool. >>> still ahead here, lawyers say they can't track down the parents of more than 500 migrant children that were separated by the trump administration. nbc's julia ansley is going to join us with her devastating new reporting. >>> and as we go to break, let's take a look at this date in history. in 1960, democrat john f. kennedy and republican richard nixon clashed in their fourth and final debate in new york. >> if that's what keeps the prestige of america up, not running down america the way senator kennedy is going to go. >> comment, senator kennedy? >> i don't need nixon to tell me what my responsibilitie

the university of arizona is a leader on that cyrus rex mission which will bring the first after examples earth and the science mission marks the first time university went the safe nasa mission. once the spacecraft launches in 2023 and the rise of the asteroid in 2030 the team will be the first time just to study an asteroid which is remarkably similar to explanatory core. in the past you testified to this committee that universityadmissions are more likely to be on schedule and under budget . i appreciate your support for these valuable university partnerships but just last week i learned of some potential changes to the near earth objects surveillance mission at the university of arizona that raises an important question. as you know in 2005 congress required nasa to discover 90 percent of near earth objects 140 meters in larger by 2020. the university of arizona's doctor amy mazer has been a leader on this issue for years and has led the precursor projects in this area. three months ago nasa improved international standard that took a major survey director for the surveillance mission
