Asteroid Bennu is a time capsule, containing the raw ingredients of the solar system.
Bennu has settled in a near-Earth orbit.

Today, a NASA spacecraft OSIRIS-REx is going to retrieve a sample to learn more about our Solar System’s history.
The Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security -- Regolith Explorer spacecraft (OSIRIS-REx) will travel to a near-Earth asteroid, called Bennu, and bring a sample back to Earth for study. The mission will help scientists investigate how planets formed and how life began, as well as improve our understanding of asteroids that could impact Earth.

OSIRIS-REx is scheduled for launch in late 2016. As planned, the spacecraft will reach its asteroid target in 2018 and return a sample to Earth in 2023.
