NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has successfully delivered the first-ever rock sample from asteroid Bennu on Earth.

A new OSIRIS-REx Curation Laboratory in Houston awaits delivery of the asteroid samples, which are currently located at NASAs Johnson Space Center.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft delivered a sample collected from the asteroid Bennu to Earth Sunday, dropping the sample capsule in the Utah desert.

A capsule containing 2 ounces of rocky material from the "potentially hazardous" asteroid Bennu has landed safely in the Utah desert after a seven-year mission in space.

The OSIRIS-REx mission is expected to shed new light on the nature and history of the solar system’s oldest building blocks

Seven years and 4 billion miles after its launch, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has successfully dropped off a capsule containing a precious sample of one near-Earth asteroid — and is now on course to rendezvous with another one in 2029. Rocket thrusters built at Aerojet Rocketdyne’s facility in Redmond, Wash., have been guiding the bus-sized probe every step of the way. Today marked the climax of OSIRIS-REx — which stands for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource...
