About

    Sample return is a research area in which spacecraft are sent to collect samples of material from other celestial bodies, such as asteroids, comets, or planets, and return them to Earth for analysis. This allows scientists to study the composition and characteristics of these extraterrestrial materials in detail, providing valuable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system. Sample return missions can provide critical information about the origins of planetary bodies, the presence of organic molecules, and potential resources that could be utilized in future space exploration missions.
