The Bennu sample lands on Earth
The capsule landed in Utah with about 120 g of Bennu — NASA’s first asteroid sample return. Recorded against the mission: the event happened at Earth, not at Bennu, and claims no encounter. Encounter class: sample return.
Historical — it happened, and the record is settled.
