Today, September 24, 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is scheduled to return a sample of asteroid Bennu to Earth. This will be the first time that a U.S. spacecraft has returned a sample from an asteroid, and it will be the largest sample of asteroid material ever returned to Earth.
OSIRIS-REx was launched in 2016 and arrived at Bennu in 2020. It spent two years studying the asteroid and mapping its surface in detail. In October 2020, OSIRIS-REx successfully collected a sample of material from Bennu’s surface.

Once the sample is processed, it will be made available to scientists around the world for study. Scientists are eager to study the Bennu sample to learn more about the formation and evolution of asteroids, as well as the potential hazards that they pose to Earth.
The Bennu sample is expected to be especially valuable because...
