Thousands of samples from the Genesis space capsule have arrived at the Johnson Space Center, where the project's curator must assemble a giant jigsaw puzzle that could hold clues to the origins of the solar system.    Wafers on five collector panels that broke into thousands of pieces when the capsule slammed into Earth last month secured samples of atoms and ions from solar wind...

DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah - A daring plan to have helicopters snag a space capsule as it plunged toward Earth went awry Wednesday when its parachutes failed to open and it slammed into the desert floor.    The catastrophic descent left the Genesis capsule buried halfway underground and exposed its collection of solar atoms to contamination...

If there had been as many people taking care of the Beagle 2 project as there have been reports into why the lander got lost, we&#39;d have reams of data on the composition of the Martian soil flooding back from a perfectly functioning vehicle, right now.

DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah - The Genesis space capsule, which had orbited the sun for three years gathering potential clues to the origin of the solar system, crashed to Earth and cracked open Wednesday, exposing its collection of solar atoms to contamination.    Flight engineers suspect a set of tiny explosives failed to trigger the capsule's parachutes, and the capsule slammed into the Utah desert at 193 mph...
