NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is set to make history as it returns to Earth with a sample from asteroid Bennu. This remarkable feat, which will make it the first-ever mission by the United States to bring back an asteroid sample, comes after seven years of space travel and a nerve-wracking touchdown on Bennu's rocky surface. With the asteroid sample capsule scheduled to land in the Utah desert on September 24, the OSIRIS-REx team is working hard to ensure that the sample is protected from heat, vibrations, and earthly contaminants. This will pave the way for scientists to study the asteroid's ancient materials, which may contain molecular precursors to life and could provide insights into the development of our solar system. In this video, we'll take a closer look at the OSIRIS-REx mission and how it has pushed the boundaries of space exploration. Join us to witness history in the making as NASA makes this groundbreaking return to Earth.
