Mission insignia for the Genesis spacecraft

• Launch of the Genesis mission and animated description of how it would capture particles of the solar wind and return them to Earth for study. (Wikimedia)
• NASA’s Genesis mission has completed the capture of solar-wind particles in its specially designed collector arrays. Since October 2001, Genesis has been in a solar orbit with its wafer-shaped arrays open to harvest the Sun’s atoms for research. (Wikimedia)
• Scientists analyzing solar wind samples returned by the Genesis mission are getting a welcome boost to their spirits. It appears that several of the most important samples survived the hard landing the return capsule experienced Sept. (Wikimedia)
• This September a Hollywood-style capture will highlight NASA's Genesis mission when it comes to an exciting climax. Genesis is a mission to study the birth of our solar system by examining the composition of the Sun. (Wikimedia)
