OSIRIS-REx- 1st US Asteroid Sample Lands Soon (Offic

NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) is the first U.S. mission to return samples from an asteroid to Earth.

When it lands, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will release the sample capsule for a safe landing in the Utah desert.

The pristine material from Bennu – rocks and dust collected from the asteroid’s surface in 2020 – will offer generations of scientists a window into the time when the Sun and planets were forming about 4.5 billion years ago.
