[i]Tune in to our live broadcast as our spacecraft descends to the surface of asteroid Bennu, touches down for a few seconds and attempts to capture regolith (rocks and dust) using a "Touch-And-Go," or TAG, maneuver. The spacecraft must target Bennu's rocky surface with great accuracy, touching down within a rocky area just 52 feet (16 meters) in diameter. During the maneuver, the spacecraft and the asteroid will be approximately 207 million miles (334 million km) from Earth. Live coverage from Lockheed Martin's facility in Denver, Colorado, with mission managers from the University of Arizona, Lockheed Martin, and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center begins at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT).[/i]
