The system then scans the bar codes and creates a map for transferring the samples to the AutoGen Racks. The filled sample racks are transferred to the FLEX STAR for DNA extraction and resuspension.

The first goal of OSIRIS-REx was to blast a spacecraft toward the grayish, lumpy object and get it really close to the surface so the probe could pluck up some space rock samples with a robotic arm.

The Bennu samples suggest that the raw materials of life have probably been present in great abundance in the solar system for about 4.5 billion years. The discoveries are reported in papers ...
