Osiris-rex orbit determination performance during the navigation campaign

2020 
The OSIRIS-REx mission Navigation Campaign consists of three sub-phases: Approach,Preliminary Survey, and Orbital A. Approach was designed for initial characterization ofBennu while matching Bennu's heliocentric velocity. Preliminary Survey provided the firstspacecraft-based estimate of Bennu's mass. This phase consisted of five target flybys witha close approach distance of about 7 km. Orbital A was a two-month phase devoted to theNavigation Team learning the close proximity operations dynamics and environment aroundBennu and transitioning from center-finding optical navigation to landmark feature-basednavigation. This paper provides a detailed summary of the orbit determination performancethroughout the Navigation Campaign.
