The capsule had been carrying bits of solar matter painstakingly collected over two years that could provide scientists with clues about the origin and evolution of the solar system. Television footage this morning showed the capsule, an inflated disc slightly smaller than a Volkswagen Beetle, hurtling through the air like a runaway hubcap, then crashing into the desert.

In a few moments, as the probe lay half-emerged in the hot sand, its round casing cracked open, investigators approached gingerly, circling the probe before they began taking photographs.

"Clearly something has gone wrong here," Chris Jones, director of solar system exploration at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., which managed the mission, said in a NASA TV broadcast of the landing.

At a news conference a few hours later, NASA scientists said the cannister containing the space matter had received some damage when the capsule, which fell at a rate of 93 miles an hour, hit the ground. Roy Haggard, the director of flight operations, said it was "quite surprising how little damage there was."

Mr. Jones, one of those at the news conference, said that NASA would be conducting a series of reviews to determine what if anything will survive of the science that the Genesis probe spent years collecting. He said contingency plans had taken into account the possibility of a crash at reentry.

"It turns out, that because this being one of the most possible, but of course remote, outcomes, it does have procedures to recover the science so we can learn from this mission and feed that information back into future scientists," Mr. Jones said

The probe's cargo is the first extraterrestrial material that NASA has brought back to Earth since Apollo 17 astronauts collected rocks from the Moon in 1972. Scientists hope the material will tell them about the solar system's primordial building materials of gas and dust that later turned into planets.

Mission managers had worried that even the impact of the capsule slowed by the parachute would have damaged the payload. Without the parachute, damage may have come to the capsule's plates, made of silicon, sapphire, diamond and other materials that had collected particles of solar wind in deep space. If the impact broke open the canister holding the plates, they would also be contaminated with Earth air.

I've wondered for a long time about the reliability of parachutes packed for years, especially in a space environment. Way too soon to know what caused the chute to fail.
