THE OSIRIS-REX MISSION WILL GATHER THIS SAMPLE THROUGH A SPACECRAFT CONSISTING OF A SCIENCE INSTRUMENT SUITE, A TOUCH-AND-GO SAMPLE ACQUISITION MECHANISM (TAGSAM) AND A SAMPLE RETURN CAPSULE (SRC). THE SPACECRAFT WILL RENDEZVOUS WITH THE NEO, OBSERVE, CHARACTERIZE AND MAP THE ASTEROID, AND FINALLY DESCEND, PERFORM A TOUCH-AND-GO MANEUVER, RETRIEVE A REGOLITH SAMPLE AND DEPART FROM THE ASTEROID. THE OSIRIS-REX SPACECRAFT WILL THEN NAVIGATE BACK TOWARDS EARTH AND JETTISON THE SRC FOR A LANDING IN THE UTAH DESERT. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE MISSION ARE TO UNDERSTAND THE ORIGINS OF PLANETARY MATERIALS AND THE INITIAL STAGES OF PLANETARY FORMATION; IDENTIFY THE SOURCES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND OTHER PREBIOTIC CHEMICALS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE EMERGENCE OF LIFE ON EARTH; EXPLORE A NEO TO GAIN A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF POTENTIAL RESOURCES; AND ENABLE THE LONG TERM PREDICTION OF THE DYNAMICS OF NEOS THAT POSE AN IMPACT HAZARD TO EARTH. IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS EFFORT, WHICH CULMINATES IN THE LAUNCH OF THE OSIRIS-REX SPACECRAFT ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 4, 2016 AND INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS OF SUPPORT, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE FACILITIES, PERSONNEL, SERVICES AND MATERIALS TO OVERSEE AND DIRECT ALL ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND PROJECT SCIENCE EFFORTS.

About this data
This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry. OSHA workplace safety inspections, WHD wage cases, MSHA mine safety, EPA environmental enforcement, NLRB labor relations, OFLC visa/labor certification, FMCSA motor carrier registration, SAM.gov debarments, CMS nursing-home records, BLS industry safety benchmarks, OSHA ITA self-reported injury rates, SEC enforcement and financial disclosures, CPSC and NHTSA recalls.
Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code.
OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover. To report a missing record or correction, email corrections@fastdol.com.
