By using an impactor to access pristine subsurface material, scientists aim to study ancient organics and the building blocks of planets. The mission will preserve samples with cryogenic systems during a 14-year journey, returning to Earth by 2048. If successful, it could reveal how planets formed and whether the ingredients for life came from deep space. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
