Reconnaissance A - Candidate sample sites overfly

Here's the graph that shows the path of the OCAMS axis and the Sun over the surface of Bennu during the candidate sample sites overfly. Formally, the graph shows the pointing direction of the MapCam, but during the flyovers the MapCam points in the same direction as the OTES, OVIRS and PolyCam; as a result, there is no way to know which instrument is actually working at a given time.

The popup label that appears when you hover the mouse over a point shows the UTC time, the coordinates of that point, the altitude of the spacecraft (h, in meters) and the distance (d, in meters) between the spacecraft and the surface intercept point of the MapCam axis.

In order to preserve the aspect ratio of the graph, if you need to zoom in it is suggested to use the [+] button in the graph toolbar and pan to center the graph (please, see here for some basic instructions).

The surface of Bennu is represented by topographic data contained in a file created by the OSIRIS-REx Altimetry Working Group; see the page "Bennu surface model" for further details (notice the irregular path followed by the MapCam axis).
