NASA's Eventful Week: Asteroid Sample Capsule Returns, Record-breaking Space Journey, and Artemis II Mission Update
This week at NASA, the sample return capsule from the OSIRIS-REx mission landed on Earth, marking the successful completion of NASA's first asteroid sample return mission. NASA astronaut Frank Rubio returned to Earth after spending a record-setting 371 days in space. Progress was made on the Artemis II mission, with all four RS-25 engines installed onto the core stage of the Moon rocket. Additionally, an annular solar eclipse is set to occur on October 14, crossing the U.S. from Oregon to Texas.
