Wonder Makes Me Seek - Carina Bennett, Senior Imaging Engineer, OSIRIS-REx

We’ve gathered some unique stories of Wildcat Wonder and turned them into a new animated series. Carina Bennett followed her wonder into the exploration of space where she tracks and observes the rocky surface of asteroid Bennu for the UArizona-led, NASA-backed OSIRIS-REx mission.

When asked “What does wonder make you do?” Carina responds, “Wonder makes me chase down an asteroid, tag it in mid-flight, and take a piece of it back to Earth.”
