NASA's OSIRIS REx spacecraft completed its primary mission by returning a large sample from the asteroid Bennu to Earth over the weekend, dropping its sample return capsule neatly onto a test range in Utah after giving the engineers some concern that it might crash.
Now the material has been recovered it'll be sent to labs to be analyzed using technologies and instrumentation which could never fly on a spacecraft.
Meanwhile the parent spacecraft is renamed OSIRIS APEX and is headed toward a rendezvous with Apophis.
