The Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission in the framework of the Rosetta project, is discussed. The comet-nucleus samples that Rosetta is to provide will make it possible to study some of the most primitive material in the solar system and the physical and chemical processes that marked the beginning of the system 4.6 billion years ago. The mission will return a sample at cryogenic temperature. In conjunction with this, ESA is presently beginning to consider planetary protection issues. Sample handling on the earth is discussed, and the receiving facility is detailed. The facility includes such features as evacuated, cryogenic enclosures; remote mechanical manipulators to operate with microscopic precision inside the enclosures; and sample processing in vacuum.
