Houston, We Have a Sample! Make Your Own Bennu

Experience an awe-inspiring moment as the OSIRIS-REx sample makes its grand entrance at Space Center Houston on Friday, March 1, 2024. We are one of three locations on Earth where you can witness this celestial marvel up close!

Embark on a fascinating voyage, unraveling the incredible tale behind the arrival of this pristine celestial piece. This sample is more than a mere rock–it’s a guardian of secrets about our origins and solar system waiting to be unveiled.

We have prepared some stellar surprises for our explorers to celebrate the arrival of this remarkable sample from the OSIRIS-REx mission. The first 200 visitors will receive a 3-D printed Bennu model as a commemorative keepsake. 

Can’t attend but still want a piece of space history? If you have access to 3-D printers, Space Center Houston has provided the file to craft your Bennu model!
