NASA Mission: First Asteroid Sample Secured in Clean Room

NASA successfully returned samples from asteroid Bennu via the Osiris-Rex mission. The 500-metre-wide asteroid, considered the most dangerous known in the Solar System, has zero impact chance for 300 years. The sample, collected in 2020, was returned at 10:52 local time. The capsule landed in Utah's desert and was transported to a clean room at Dugway Army base. Initial estimates suggest 250 grams of material. UK scientist Ashley King leads the Quick Look team for analysis at Johnson Space Center. NASA scheduled a press conference on 11 October to share initial findings.
