TOUCHDOWN! The #OSIRISREx sample capsule landed at the Utah Test and Training Range at 10:52am ET (1452 UTC) after a 3.86-billion mile journey. This marks the US's first sample return mission of its kind and will open a time capsule to the beginnings of our solar system.

After a journey of nearly 3.9 billion miles, the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample return capsule is back on Earth. Teams perform the initial safety assessment—the first persons to come into contact with this hardware since it was on the other side of the solar system.

Here they are. These bits of ancient space rock may hold clues to how the rocky planets—including our own—formed. Scientists worldwide will study the #OSIRISREx sample for generations to come to get answers on where we come from.

📰It's breaking news from #OSIRISREx. Scientists found molecules key to life as we know it & the history of a saltwater environment in a new analysis of asteroid Bennu samples. Findings don't show evidence for life but suggest conditions for its emergence were widespread.

What could we do if an asteroid threatened Earth? 65 actor Adam Driver and . discuss how we monitor asteroids, preventing a possible impact, and why we’re bringing asteroid samples here with #OSIRISRex. (There are no known threats to Earth for 100+ years.)

Today's goal is to transfer the capsule from the range to a temporary clean room here at UTTR and put the sample on a nitrogen purge. Avoiding contamination is the priority and the team is taking every precaution to protect the sample.
