from Astronomy Cast

Astronomy Cast Ep. 707: What Goes Into A Sample Return Mission? Moon & Mars by Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live on Feb 5, 2024. We've sent robots to other worlds, but the amount of science we can deploy to another planet can't compare with the vast science labs we have on Earth. That's why more and more missions are for a sample return, bringing pieces of alien worlds back to Earth, where we study them with proper equipment.
