Space Delivery: OSIRIS-REx’s Asteroid Sample Touchdown
Here’s How the September 24 Asteroid Sample Delivery Will Work
Early morning on Sunday, September 24, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft’s sample capsule will come face-to-face with Earth’s atmosphere for the first time since the mission’s 2016 launch. On board are an estimated 8.8 ounces, or 250 grams, of rocky material collected from the surface of Bennu in 2020 – NASA’s first asteroid sample and the largest ever collected in space.
