During an almost two-week search, NASA`s OSIRIS-REx mission team activated the spacecraft`s MapCam imager and scanned part of the surrounding space for elusive Earth-Trojan asteroids-objects that scientists believe may exist in one of the stable regions that co-orbits the sun with Earth. Although no Earth-Trojans were discovered, the spacecraft`s camera operated flawlessly and demonstrated that it could image objects two magnitudes dimmer than originally expected.
