That it dose. Why do you think they sent the thing out there?

Sweet, 2 viewers! A season high! - jdotter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"In 2004, Genesis—a sister mission of Stardust—made a similar return, jettisoning a sample return capsule four-times the mass of Stardust...its parachute system failed to deploy. That resulted in a precisely placed, but busted-up capsule when the vessel hit the desert landscape at high speed."
Now that really made me think of The Andromeda Strain
