Watch never-before-seen footage of the first celebratory moments following the successful landing of the OSIRIS-REx sample return capsule. A chest-strapped 360 camera captured the perspective of mission principal investigator Dante Lauretta as he stepped off the helicopter that flew him to this remote location in the Utah desert. Minutes before the recovery team arrived, the capsule executed a pinpoint landing on its nose after blazing through Earth's atmosphere, charring its exterior, but protecting the precious cargo of rocks and dust from asteroid Bennu within.
