Stardust Landing Photos - January 15, 2006
This NASA TV image shows NASA's Stardust sample return capsule being wheeled into a temporary cleanroom at the Michael Army Air Field in
Utah. Earlier, the capsule successfully landed at the U.S. Air Force Utah Test and Training Range at 2:10 a.m. Pacific time (3:10 a.m. Mountain time). It contains cometary and interstellar samples gathered by the Stardust spacecraft. The capsule's science canister is
safely stowed inside a special aluminum carrying case awaiting transportation to the Johnson Space Center, Houston, where it will be
opened.
