NASA conducted a dress rehearsal for the recovery of the sample return capsule from the OSIRIS-REx mission, which is set to bring back samples from the asteroid Bennu in September. The capsule, carrying an estimated 250 grams of material, will land at the Utah Test and Training Range and be transported to NASA's Johnson Space Center for analysis. The mission aims to provide new insights into the formation of the solar system.
