Washington DC (UPI) Nov 2, 2023 - NASA's Lucy spacecraft completed its first flyby of an asteroid Wednesday and phoned home by transmitting data back to Earth.
The NASA Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids is expected to launch Oct. 16. Unique to this mission are the multiple ways that ASU is involved: The spacecraft is named in honor of the “Lucy” fossil discovered in 1974 by ASU's Donald Johanson; onboard is an ASU-led instrument; and watching the launch will be thousands of students who have attended the ASU-led “L’SPACE” Academy.
On Saturday, NASA launched its Lucy mission to survey Jupiter's Trojans — asteroid clumps that precede and trail the gas giant as it orbits the Sun.An ASU-built sensor will help the mission settle an ongoing debate about the solar system's origins.Mounting data from planets circling distant stars bolster the idea that our sun's planets did not form in their present orbits, but
