The #JAXA ISAS cleanroom facilities (where no more than 1000 mots of dust per cubic foot are allowed to hang in the air) have been expanded.

Because... we're getting another asteroid!

Part of the sample from asteroid Bennu that was returned by #NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission will come to JAXA this summer as part of the agreement between the two teamed space agencies.

New Cosmos post (by me 🤸‍♀️ ) with a peek at the new facilities:
