NASA's Stardust SampleReturn was 10 Years AgoToday

(/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/stardustcapsule.jThe sample return capsule from NASA's Stardust mission

successfully landed at the U.S. Air Force's Utah Test and Training

Range in Dugway, Utah, at 2:10 a.m. Pacific (3:10 a.m. Mountain)

on January 15, 2006. The capsule carried cometary and

interstellar samples gathered by the Stardust spacecraft.

It was less than an hour into the new day of January 15,

2006 (EST), when tens of thousands of miles above our

planet, two cable cutters and two retention bolts fired,

releasing a spring which pushed a 101-pound (46-

kilogram) sample return capsule away from its mother

ship. Later, during its final plunge Earthward, the

capsule would become the fastest human-made object

to enter our atmosphere, achieving a velocity of about

28,600 mph (12.8 kilometers per second).

Then, at 5:10 a.m. EST (3:10 a.m. MST), for the first

time in seven years, the sample return capsule finally

stopped moving. By the time it landed, under parachute

in the desert salt flats of the U.S. Air Force's Utah Test

and Training Range in Dugway, the capsule had

travelled 2.88 billion miles (4.5 billion kilometers) -- a

ourney that carried it around the sun three times and as

far out as halfway to Jupiter. Inside the Stardust

mission's graphite-epoxy covered capsule was the

objective of its prime mission -- humanity's first samples

collected from a celestial body in deep space (beyond

the Earth-moon system).

"The Stardust sample return capsule carried inside

cometary material it gathered from comet Wild-2 during

a flyby in January of 2004," said Don Brownlee, Stardust

principal investigator from the University of Washington,

Seattle. "The spacecraft deployed a tennis racket-like,

aerogel-lined collector, and we flew the spacecraft within

150 miles (241 kilometers), capturing particles from the

coma as we went."

Two days after the return, the sample return capsule'sscience canister and its cargo of comet and interstellar

dust particles was stowed inside a special aluminum

carrying case and transported to a curatorial facility at

NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Eileen

Stansbery -- now Chief Scientist at Johnson -- worked

on Stardust as the deputy director of Astromaterials

Research and Exploration Science at the time. "We were

investigating big questions with the smallest samples --

how did our solar system form? What are we made of?

This comet is representative of one of the most primitive

bodies in the solar system, preserving the earliestrecord of material from the nebula during the

'planetesimal' forming stage in its evolution."

Brownlee notes, "The science team couldn't wait to get

their hands on the samples. It had been 10 years of

planning and then seven more years for the actual

mission, so everyone was raring to go."

The Stardust mission's international team of scientists --

200 strong -- helped re-write the book on comets and

the evolution of the solar system. The Stardust missionsamples indicated that some comets may have included

materials ejected from the early sun and may have

formed very differently than scientists had theorized.

"What we found was remarkable," said Brownlee.

"Instead of rocky materials that formed around previous

generations of stars, we found that most of the comet's

rocky matter formed inside our solar system at


3/18



extremely high temperature. In great contrast to its ice,

our comet's rocky material had formed under white-hot

conditions."

Comet ice formed in cold regions beyond the planet

Neptune, but the rocks, probably the bulk of any comet's

mass, formed much closer to the sun in regions hot

enough to evaporate bricks. The materials that Stardust

collected from comet Wild-2 contain pre-solar "stardust"

grains, identified on the basis of their unusual isotopic

composition, but these grains are very rare.

"Even though we confirmed comets are ancient bodies

with an abundance of ice -- some which formed a few

tens of degrees above absolute zero at the edge of the

solar system -- we now know that comets are really a

mix of materials made by conditions of both 'fire and

ice,'" said Brownlee.

While Stardust was the first deep-space sample-return

mission, it was by no means the last. The Japanese

Space Agency (JAXA's) Hayabusa mission collected

samples from an asteroid and returned them to Earth in

2010, and the Hayabusa 2 mission to return material

from asteroid Ryugu is currently underway. Still to come

is NASA's OSIRIS-Rex mission. Scheduled to launch in

September of this year, OSIRIS-REx will travel to the

near-Earth asteroid Bennu and retrieve at least 2.1

ounces (60 grams) of surface material and return it to

Earth for study.

"The ways to explore space are probably as big as

space itself," said Brownlee. "But for my money, you

can't beat sample return. Having samples there in front

of you, available for laboratory analysis when you want -

- that's tough to beat."

Another thing about Stardust that was tough to beat was

the spacecraft itself. Launched on Feb. 7, 1999,

Stardust flew past an asteroid known as Annefrank, flew

past and collected particle samples from comet Wild-2,

and returned those particles to Earth in a sample returncapsule in January 2006. As planned, the Stardust

spacecraft did not re-enter Earth's atmosphere along

with its sample return capsule. Instead, it went into a

solar orbit. NASA then re-tasked the still-healthy

spacecraft to perform a flyby of comet Tempel 1 on Feb.

14, 2011.

Comet Feature NamedAfter Late NASA ScientistClaudia Alexander

(/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/pia19838-1041.jpg)Scientists from the European Space Agency's Rosetta team have

honored two late team members by naming comet features after them.

The comet is 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, where the mission

successfully landed a probe. One of the features is shown here in these

Rosetta images, with the picture on the right being a close-up view. The

"C. Alexander Gate" is found on the comet's smaller lobe, and is

dedicated to Claudia Alexander, the U.S. project scientist from NASA's Jet
