On September 24, 2023, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully delivered samples of asteroid Bennu to Earth, following a seven-year mission that saw the spacecraft travel nearly four billion miles through deep-space. These samples could give insights into the planetary formation of our solar system and the origins of life on Earth.
Designed, built and flown by our teams, the spacecraft has now begun its extended mission to asteroid Apophis under its new mission name, OSIRIS-APEX.
