NASA's Genesis Project: Salvaging Science from a Crash Landing

The Genesis capsule, after a 2.5-year mission collecting solar wind particles, crashed in the Utah desert at 300 km/h. The impact damaged the inner canister holding fragile disks, but some wafers remained intact, allowing scientists to salvage part of the mission's data. NASA is investigating the parachute failure and is concerned about similar issues with future missions. The capsule's contents could provide insights into the sun's formation 4.5 billion years ago.

What is NASA investigating regarding the Genesis capsule?

How could the charged atoms from the solar wind help explain the formation of the sun?
