NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission successfully collected an asteroid sample from Bennu, but scientists have been unable to open the sample container due to difficulties with removing the last two fasteners. The sample is being kept in a cleanroom at Johnson Space Center, constantly flooded with nitrogen to prevent contamination. Scientists are working on new methods to open the container while studying the materials they've already recovered.
