Historic Asteroid Sample Delivery on Sept. 24, 2023 | NASA OSIRIS-REx

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is cruising back to Earth with a sample it collected from the rocky surface of asteroid Bennu. When its sample capsule parachutes down into the Utah desert on Sept. 24, 2023, OSIRIS-REx will become the United States’ first-ever mission to return an asteroid sample to Earth.
