00:00:01,067 --> 00:00:03,870
When bringing a sample of the cosmos
back to Earth,

2
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:07,941
it's important to find a good landing zone
that won't compromise the sample.

3
00:00:08,041 --> 00:00:11,444
That's why NASA's partnered
with the Army's Dugway Proving Ground.

4
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:14,948
Its vast open
space makes it ideal for the task,

5
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:19,586
but Osiris-rex is neither the first
nor the last mission to land here.

6
00:00:19,652 --> 00:00:22,722
In 2004,
the Genesis mission landed here at Dugway,

7
00:00:22,756 --> 00:00:27,761
delivering our first ever samples of solar
wind in 2006.

8
00:00:27,827 --> 00:00:31,898
NASA's landed at Dugway again, this time
with a mission called Stardust,

9
00:00:32,132 --> 00:00:35,702
which gathered
samples of interstellar dust.

10
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:39,239
Both of these missions helped fuel
our understanding of the universe

11
00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:44,544
and wouldn't have been possible without
a safe landing zone, just like Osiris-rex.

12
00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:48,181
After today, NASA and Dugway
are looking towards the future

13
00:00:48,248 --> 00:00:51,017
to the Mars sample return mission
that will once again be

14
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:54,954
bringing a unique sample of our universe
right here to Dugway Proving Ground.
