NASA OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Processing | Johnson Space Center
The first U.S. asteroid sample, delivered by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023 is now being analyzed at its permanent home at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, where it is being cared for, stored, and distributed to scientists worldwide.
In this video, curation team members from the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) division at Johnson Space Center perform a pour maneuver to distribute the remaining asteroid sample material from the OSIRIS-REx Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) head into sample containers.
The team includes:
Nicole Lunning, OSIRIS-REx curator
Jannatul Ferdous, astromaterials processor
Julia Plummer, astromaterials processor
Rachel Funk, astromaterials processor
