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, one of two Genesis
helicopters will capture the Genesis 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.
