Zielinski, S. (2006). In Brief: NASA's Genesis crash blamed on design flaw. Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union 87: doi: 10.1029/2006EO260012. issn: 0096-3941.

NASA's Genesis spacecraft was launched in 2001 with the mission of returning samples of solar wind particles to Earth, but the return capsule's parachute did not deploy, and the capsule crashed into the Utah desert on 8 September 2004. That crash now can be attributed to a design flaw, according to a report released on 13 June.
