NAME OSIRIS-REx Mt. Bigelow Ground Based Bennu Observations V1.0
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This data set includes the ECAS system (Eight Color Asteroid Survey) photometry and light curve observations of the asteroid 101955 Bennu as wellas the derived light curves. At the time of the observations, September 2005, theasteroid carried the provisional designation 1999 RQ36. Observations were made as apart of the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission ground observing campaign tocharacterize potential mission targets. 101955 Bennu was subsequently chosen as themission target. This particular data set contains observations of 101955 Bennu and aseries of 5 standard stars taken at the University of Arizona Observatories Kuiper1.54-m reflector.
