Nasa launches the Osiris-Rex spacecraft into space on Thursday, on an unprecedented seven-year quest to collect samples from the asteroid Bennu. The United Launch Alliance booster lifts off from Cape Canaveral air force station in Florida, as part of Nasa’s New Frontiers missions. The probe will reach its destination in August 2018, spend two years mapping the asteroid and send back interstellar material that could date back to the origins of the solar system.
