00:00:00.984 --> 00:00:03.169
After ground teams retrieve the capsule,

2
00:00:03.169 --> 00:00:08.041
the BENNU samples will be taken to NASA's
Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

3
00:00:08.124 --> 00:00:11.811
The sample canister will be opened
in the Astromaterials Acquisition

4
00:00:11.811 --> 00:00:13.113
and Curation Facility.

5
00:00:13.113 --> 00:00:16.533
In the samples
will be curated, distributed and studied

6
00:00:16.533 --> 00:00:18.868
for decades to come.

7
00:00:18.868 --> 00:00:22.038
Having delivered its cargo,
the Osiris-rex spacecraft

8
00:00:22.038 --> 00:00:26.192
will depart Earth, but
its journey will not quite be finished.

9
00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:30.113
In a daring encore,
the renamed Osiris-Apex will enter

10
00:00:30.113 --> 00:00:33.450
an elliptical orbit of the sun,
repeatedly passing within the orbit

11
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:37.053
of Venus and pushing
the limits of its thermal design.

12
00:00:37.137 --> 00:00:39.773
Beginning in 2029, it will chase down

13
00:00:39.773 --> 00:00:43.676
and investigate
Apophis, a 1200 foot stony asteroid

14
00:00:43.727 --> 00:00:47.847
destined to make an exceptionally
close flyby of Earth.

15
00:00:47.931 --> 00:00:50.900
After 13 years in deep space

16
00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:56.489
at the start of a new decade alone
on a new world, the journey will continue.
