The package is a large space capsule that holds a sample container filled with regolith (loose rocks and soil) from the asteroid’s surface.The spacecraft OSIRIS-REx—Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer—was launched on September 8, 2016, and headed out into the asteroid belt seeking to meet up with and explore Bennu.
