OSIRIS-REx apparently was successful - landed on Bennu, scooped up some dirt and rocks, and took off again.

It will take a few more days before scientists can completely declare success. At present, they can only say that the spacecraft executed its instructions exactly as programmed. What is not yet known is how much material was actually grabbed. Scientists are hoping for at least a couple of ounces, but the sampling mechanism can hold up to four pounds.
