In the spring of 2004, the Genesis team performed mid-air retrieval training at the Utah Test and Training Range. On Sept. 8, 2004, over the same location training range they trained on, a helicopter will capture the Genesis spacecraft solar sample return capsule in mid-air, land it gently on the ground where trained ground crew will disconnect the parafoil. Then, the helicopter will carry the capsule back to a cleanroom facility located on a nearby airfield for preliminary inspection and disassembly. JPL-- NASA
