OSIRIS-REx is the first U.S. mission to collect a sample from an asteroid. It will deliver a cupful of rocky material from near-Earth asteroid Bennu to Utah’s West Desert on September 24, 2023. Team members from the mission gathered at the Department of Defense Utah Test and Training Range on July 17-19 to rehearse the sample return event. They practiced bagging and moving an engineering model of the sample return capsule from a staged landing area to a clean tent where the sample will undergo initial processing in September. The event was the second of three increasingly realistic rehearsals prior to sample recovery.
