“The OSIRIS-REx sample is the biggest carbon-rich asteroid sample ever delivered to Earth and will help scientists investigate the origins of life on our own planet for generations to come,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. The mission's science team will continue characterizing the samples and performing the analyses required to achieve the mission's scientific objectives during the ensuing two years. At least 70 percent of the sample will be preserved by NASA at Johnson for use in future research by experts all over the world.
It is anticipated that the examination of the returning sample will reveal new information on the creation and development of the solar system, the organic substances found on Bennu, and the possible contribution of asteroids like Bennu to the supply of water and organics to Earth.
