Genesis Spacecraft Crash Site (Forwarded)
Space Imaging
Thornton, Colorado September 12, 2004 Genesis Spacecraft Crash Site Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite took this image of the crash site for Genesis space capsule September 9, 2004. After spending 20 months in space collecting solar wind particles from the Sun, the capsule returned to Earth September 8, 2004, but not as scientists had hoped. A parachute that would have slowed the returning spacecraft enough to be captured by a team of Hollywood stunt pilots failed to open. The tumbling capsule then smashed into the Utah desert at more than 100 miles per hour. Scientists have been able to recover some of the science following the crash.
