NASA asteroid sample return mission to land on U.S. postage stamp [i]The United States Postal Service (USPS) dropped news of a surprise space stamp on Tuesday (March 14), revealing it plans to mark the upcoming plunge of a capsule carrying the largest sample ever collected from an asteroid. The "OSIRIS-REx Return To Earth" postage stamp, to be issued later this year on a date still to be announced, honors NASA's first mission to bring back asteroid samples for study. The stamp depicts the robotic probe's sample return capsule descending under a parachute over the Utah desert, where the rock and dust-filled container is scheduled to land on Sept. 24, 2023.[/i]
