Instead, OSIRIS-REx will perform something of a drive-by sample collection. The spacecraft will only touch the surface with its sample collection arm for a few seconds, hoovering up some rock samples before taking off again. This is something no one has ever done before, so it’ll be exciting to see how it works.

Sounds like a tricky trajectory to do a touch-and-go on an asteroid.

I bet it ‘collides’ with it, in effect landing - then taking back off.
