OSIRIS-REx curator Nicole Lunning, left, and deputy curator Christopher Snead stand inside the OSIRIS-REx cleanroom at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Immediately behind them is the Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) head glovebox in which the Astromaterials Research and Exploration (ARES) curation engineers and astromaterials processors carefully disassembled the TAGSAM head to collect the asteroid material from within.
