Caption: Figure 17.

Sequence of frames from an ARMCam, capturing the pour-out of Bennu material by NASA JSC processors from the TAGSAM onto a baffled tray system inside the glovebox. The processors installed a four-handled baseplate holder onto the TAGSAM baseplate and then carefully tilted the baseplate until material was mobilized by gravity. (a–d) The processors tilting the TAGSAM, toward the right in this view, until material begins to move and fall into the baffled tray. (e–h) Same as panels (a)–(d), but with the tilt direction toward the top of the page.
