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.
