• Note (General): Sample containers for storage and transportation of the returned asteroid samples recovered in the Hayabusa, Hayabusa2, and OSIRIS-REx missions have been developed in JAXA curation. Small particles of Hayabusa samples were first dropped on the quartz disks, and aluminum disks were transferred and stored in the multi-well concavity slides, and they have recently been moved to the φ10 mm individual sample holders. To check if the samples are derived from the Itokawa or other contaminants by SEM-EDS, the dedicated SEM holder is used to transfer samples between the chamber and the instrument. The samples are transferred to the other concavity slide and packed in the clamp-sealed transfer container to deliver samples to the other research institutes. Hayabusa2 samples consisting of fine particles to mm size grains are first stored in the bulk sample containers. Individual grains and aggregate samples are extracted from the bulk sample containers and moved to the φ15 mm or φ10 mm sapphire dish with a stainless steel outer holder. Facility-to-facility transfer container (FFTC), the O-ring sealed container, is used to deliver samples to the other institutes. A portion of the OSIRIS-REx samples received at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) is separated and transported to JAXA curation. Newly designed bulk sample containers are used to store the separated samples. The transfer containers designed by JSC curation are used to containerize the bulk sample containers and to deliver them to JAXA curation. Accumulative knowledge and experiences of extraterrestrial sample curation in the sample return missions, including the development of sample containers, have contributed to the successful science outcomes in the Hayabusa and Hayabusa2 missions. Development and improvement of sample containers continue for upcoming MMX and future sample return missions.; Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations; 形態: カラー図版あり; レポート番号: JAXA-RR-23-008E
