NASA's OSIRIS-REx Successfully Delivers Asteroid Sample to Earth
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is set to make history this summer when it returns a sample of an asteroid back to Earth. On August 25, 2023, the spacecraft is expected to deliver a sample of the asteroid Bennu to the Utah Test and Training Range, in what is being called a “once in a lifetime event”. The sample will contain a wealth of information about the origins of the solar system and could potentially provide insights into the formation of life on Earth. This is an exciting moment for science, and a major milestone for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.
