The public will get a first look at the asteroid sample that was collected from Bennu and brought back to Earth on the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft last month.
In a flyby of Earth, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft released the sample capsule from 63,000 miles out. The small capsule landed four hours later on a remote expanse of military land, as the mothership set off after another asteroid. "Congratulations to the OSIRIS-REx team on a picture-perfect mission – the first American asteroid sample return in history – which will deepen our understanding of the origin of our solar system and its formation. Not to mention, Bennu is a potentially hazardous asteroid, and what we learn from the sample will help us better understand the types of asteroids that could come our way," said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a news release after the landing.
