Launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on September 8th 2016, OSIRIS-REx is an unmanned mission to retrive valuable materials for research. OSIRIS-REx will travel to a near-Earth asteroid called Bennu and bring a small sample back to Earth for study. The mission is, at time of writing, ongoing and aims to bring back samples from a near-Earth asteroid called Bennu.
