NASA's Lucy Mission Extends Its Solar Arrays

The NASA Lucy mission is a space exploration endeavor designed to study Trojan asteroids, which are groups of asteroids that share the same orbit as Jupiter. The mission aims to provide insights into the early solar system by investigating these ancient remnants, shedding light on planetary formation and migration. Scheduled to launch in October 2021, Lucy will visit multiple Trojan asteroids, uncovering clues about the origins and evolution of our solar system.
