NASA's OSIRIS-REx is a robotic spacecraft that has been on a seven-year mission to collect and return samples from an asteroid called Bennu — billions of kilometres from Earth.
Virgil I. 'Gus' Grissom, Edward H. White, and Roger B. Chaffee all perished in the landmark space disaster of 1967.
Asteroid samples fetched from deep space have parachuted into the Utah desert to cap a seven-year journey.
A NASA spacecraft passed by the Earth on Sunday and released its capsule containing rare fragments from the asteroid Bennu, ending a journey that began seven years ago.
This morning at 10:52 a.m. ET, an asteroid sample collected as part of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission landed in the Utah desert. In return for the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) contribution to this mission, a portion of the asteroid material will go to Canada. It will be studied by generations of Canadian and international scientists.
