1.1 Return ≥60 g of pristine bulk sample from Bennu and archive 75% of the total returned mass for future analyses. ‘Pristine’ is defined to mean that no foreign material introduced into the sample hampers the scientific analysis of the sample

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.10 Resolve key mineralogical and organic features with spectral absorptions ≥5% to detect the following species: adsorbed water, phyllosilicates, carbonates, sulfates, silicates, oxides, and hydrocarbons, and determine mineral, organic, and phase abundances on the surface of Bennu, at a global spatial resolution of 50 m or better

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.11 Search for and spectrally and visually characterize regions of active volatile outgassing from the surface of Bennu

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.12 Search for and spectrally and visually characterize satellites in orbit around Bennu

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.13 Search for and characterize the effects of space-weathering on Bennu

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.14 Constrain the properties of Bennu that contribute to the Yarkovsky effect and measure the magnitude of the Yarkovsky effect

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.15 Measure the astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic properties of Bennu

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.2 Document the contamination of the sample acquired from collection, transport, curation, and distribution

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.3 Contact ≥26 cm2 of surface material from Bennu, return the TAGSAM contact surface, and archive 75% of the contact surface for future analyses

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.4 For the sample site, document the texture to sub-cm resolution and the morphology, geochemistry, and spectral properties sufficiently to select the site and provide context for the sample. ‘Resolution’ is defined as the root-mean-square spot size characterizing the sub-cm imager

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission (2012)
1.5a Produce a sample catalog within 6 months of return and 1.5b Analyze the returned sample to determine the presolar history, formation age, nebular and parent-body alteration history, relation to known meteorites, organic history, space weathering, resurfacing history, and energy balance in the regolith of Bennu
