On September 24, NASA  successfully deployed a parachute to safely deliver the initial asteroid samples collected from deep space to the Utah desert.

The Utah desert has received a capsule filled with perfectly preserved asteroid material, courtesy of the asteroid-seeking spacecraft OSIRIS-Rex.

While passing Earth, the spacecraft deployed a sample capsule at a distance of 100,000 km.
After four hours, the small aircraft touched down on an isolated military terrain while the main spaceship was busy chasing another asteroid.

Osiris-Rex has been monitoring Apophis, the asteroid , and will come closer to it in the year 2029. NASA and the US Air Force conducted a successful operation in the desert of Utah, retrieving a space capsule that contained samples from the asteroid Bennu. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft captured images of Bennu in 2020. This marks a groundbreaking achievement for NASA as they have successfully retrieved a sample from an asteroid, a feat never before accomplished. 

After a journey spanning over 4 billion miles (6.2 billion kilometers) to reach Bennu and successfully complete the return voyage, the OSIRIS-REx probe released its sample return capsule earlier today when it was approximately 63,000 meters above Earth. miles (101,000 km).The capsule holds approximately 250 grams (8.8 ounces) of rocks and various substances gathered from Bennu. These valuable samples have the potential to address challenging inquiries relating to the origin of life on Earth and the early stages of our solar system. 

The OSIRIS-REx capsule travels at incredible speeds of 27,000 mph (43,450 km/h) and its heat shield endures temperatures as high as 5,300 degrees F (2,900 degrees C) as it descends into the Earth's atmosphere . The capsule successfully activated its primary parachute at an altitude of approximately 20,000 feet, surpassing the expected height of 5,000 feet, yet it seemed to have landed securely. 

During a press conference following the landing, representatives from NASA and Lockheed Martin Space Systems, the manufacturer of OSIRIS-REx, acknowledged that the drug parachute had the potential to be activated, yet it was not utilized. Observed by surveillance cameras during the touchdown.

"At long last, we have successfully touched down," remarked Mike Moreau, the leader of the OSIRIS-REx recovery team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, during the press briefing. I eagerly anticipated the arrival of the main parachute, as it held the drugs. Consequently, all the contents had to be released. The sample return capsule gracefully descended onto the desert ground in the United States. In Utah's Department of Defense Test and Training Range, the capsule reached a sufficiently cooled state for the United States. Air Force personnel  can gain access to it upon verification of their identity. Can you provide me with its whereabouts?

Completing the 4 billion km journey from the atmosphere's edge to the desert sands takes less than 10 minutes. The expensive OSIRIS-REx expedition commenced in 2016, reached Bennu in 2018, and successfully gathered asteroid samples in 2020.

During the briefing after landing, Dante Lauretta, the lead researcher for the OSIRIS-REx mission, exclaimed, "I can't believe we have finally touched down!"

After touchdown, the capsule and its immediate vicinity were thoroughly examined to guarantee the safety of OSIRIS-REx team members and recovery personnel during their access and inspection of the capsule. The initial examination conducted by recovery teams indicated that the capsule remained intact and undamaged after landing, without any signs of punctures.

Starting there on, the case was connected to a helicopter utilizing an extensive line and moved to a brief sterile climate laid out in the US. The Dugway Demonstrating Ground, possessed by the military, is an office of incredible importance.

Yet again after the office was gotten, the case was opened and the compartment encasing the important example from space rock Bennu was prepared for transportation. The material from the space rock will be moved via airplane to NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, where a cutting edge office called the Materials Exploration and Investigation Science Division is presently under development. The logical association known as ARES (Space science Sits tight for It) anticipates in expectation.

The adequacy of NASA's central goal is obvious. Rousing components, bringing together factors, and instances of unfathomable accomplishments.

A while later, the example will be distributed to various logical organizations and global space offices. NASA intends to hold the greater part, including 70%, of the examples at JSC for long haul examination. An extra 25% will be designated among north of 200 researchers positioned at 35 assorted offices. 4% of the assets will be dispensed to the Canadian Space Organization, with an extra 0.5% being coordinated towards the Japan Aviation Investigation Office (JAXA).

The conclusion of a seven-year endeavor, encompassing various unexpected discoveries, is signified by the triumphant landing and retrieval of samples from asteroid Bennu. Upon reaching Bennu in 2018, the spacecraft discovered an asteroid resembling a collection of gravel and debris instead of a compacted rock mass. Following this, scientists involved in the mission had to reconsider the landing strategy for the probe. As a result, they needed to modify the spacecraft's programming to ensure it would successfully land within an area that is smaller than 25% of the Earth's surface. The intended destination for landing as initially planned.
