12 Years, 8 Asteroids, 1 Spacecraft
Countdown Is On For The Launch Of NASA’s Bold Mission To Explore Ancient Asteroids

Fossils of the solar system: On October 16, NASA will launch LUCY, the first-ever mission to a mysterious group of asteroids that are pristine “fossils” of our solar system.

Trojan asteroids are remnants of the ancient material that formed the outer planets some 4.5 billion years ago! Named after characters in Greek mythology, these asteroids circle the Sun in two swarms, with one group leading ahead of Jupiter in its path, the other trailing behind it. Lucy will visit an unprecedented eight asteroids during its epic journey.

Lucy’s name is a nod to the famous 3.2 million year old “Lucy” skeleton that helped scientists piece together human evolution. Just as the Lucy fossil changed our understanding of human evolution, this Lucy in the sky will revolutionize our understanding of the Solar System’s origins.

Lucy is the first spacecraft to visit this group of asteroids, and it’ll also be the first probe to return to the vicinity of Earth from the outer solar system when it swings back to adjust course.

Fun Fact: Each of the two groups of Trojan asteroid swarms are as far away from Jupiter as Jupiter is from the Sun!

Fun Fact: When the Lucy spacecraft flies into the sky on Oct 16, it will be carrying a 3.98 gm, or 19.9 carat, diamond with it. This manufactured diamond (1-mm thick and 38 mm in diameter) serves as the beamsplitter for Lucy's far-infrared spectrometer, L'TES. That instrument will allow scientists to determine the temperature, and thus infer the surface properties, of the Trojan asteroids.

Live interviews will be offered on Oct. 15, 2021 from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. EASTERN TIME.

Suggested Anchor Intro:
Tomorrow NASA will make history by launching the Lucy mission, the first mission to study the Trojan asteroids. This unique group of asteroids circles the Sun in two swarms - with one group leading ahead of Jupiter in its path, the other trailing behind it. These ancient asteroids are virtually untouched since the birth of our solar system, and like fossils on Earth, hold important clues to the past. Here to talk to us about this special mission and what it means is Lucy expert XX.

Suggested Questions:
The Lucy mission is planning to take a trip to the Trojan asteroids. Can you tell us what the Trojan asteroids are?
What’s the difference between an asteroid and a comet?
This isn’t NASA’s first mission to study an asteroid up close. What can these particular asteroids tell us?
What are you most excited about for this mission?
What are the ways that the public can become involved in the Lucy mission?

Longer Interview Questions:
Lucy will be visiting an unprecedented eight asteroids! What are some of the challenges in sending a spacecraft to different locations?
How did the Lucy mission get its name?
What will scientists be looking for as Lucy observes its targets?
How might this mission help us better understand how our solar system formed and maybe even how life got started here on Earth?", "items": [], "extra_data": {} }, { "id": 316493, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13950/#media_group_316493", "widget": "Video player", "title": "", "caption": "", "description": "Edited b-roll for the Lucy live shots.

The Trojan asteroids are remnants of the early solar system clustered in two “swarms” leading and following Jupiter in its path around the Sun.The live briefing will stream on NASA Television, the agency's website, NASA’s Twitter account and the NASA App.Participants in Tuesday's briefing will include:• Alana Johnson, Senior Communications Specialist, NASA Planetary Science Division• Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington.• Hal Levison, Lucy Principal Investigator, Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.• Keith Noll, Lucy Project Scientist, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. • Rich Lipe, Lockheed Marin Spacecraft Program Manager, Denver, Colorado. • Donya Douglas-Bradshaw, Lucy Project Manager, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.Over its 12-year primary mission, Lucy will explore a record number of asteroids in separate orbits around the Sun. The spacecraft will fly by one asteroid in the solar system’s main belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, followed by seven Trojans. In addition, Lucy’s path will circle back to Earth three times for gravity assists, making it the first spacecraft ever to travel out to the distance of Jupiter and return to the vicinity of Earth.The Lucy mission is named after the fossilized skeleton of an early hominin (pre-human ancestor) discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 and named “Lucy” by the team of paleoanthropologists who discovered it. Just as the Lucy fossil provided unique insights into humanity’s evolution, the Lucy mission promises to revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system.Lucy is scheduled to launch no earlier than Saturday, Oct. 16, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.Southwest Research Institute is the home institution of the principal investigator. NASA Goddard Space provides overall mission management, systems engineering, plus safety and mission assurance. Lockheed Martin Space built the spacecraft. Lucy is the 13th mission in NASA’s Discovery Program. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, manages the Discovery Program for the Science Mission Directorate. The launch is managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.For more information about Lucy, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/lucy || ", "release_date": "2021-09-28T13:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:43:54.102858-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 376654, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013900/a013933/1_Levison_Trojans.00030_print.jpg", "filename": "1_Levison_Trojans.00030_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "1.

The Trojans orbit in two loose groups that orbit the Sun, with one group always ahead of Jupiter in its path, the other always behind. At these two Lagrange points the bodies are stabilized by the Sun and Jupiter in a gravitational balancing act. These primitive bodies hold vital clues to deciphering the history of the solar system, and perhaps even the origins of life and organic material on Earth.Lucy will be the first space mission to study the Trojans. The mission takes its name from the fossilized human ancestor (called “Lucy” by her discoverers) whose skeleton provided unique insight into humanity's evolution. Likewise, the Lucy mission will revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system.Lucy will launch in October 2021 and, with boosts from Earth's gravity, will complete a twelve-year journey to eight different asteroids — a Main Belt asteroid and seven Jupiter Trojans, the last two members of a “two-for-the-price-of-one” binary system. Lucy’s complex path will take it to both clusters of Trojans and give us our first close-up view of all three major types of bodies in the swarms (so-called C-, P- and D-types). || ", "release_date": "2019-10-21T10:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-11-15T00:12:57.403076-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 395657, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a004700/a004719/Lucy_full_01.3375_print.jpg", "filename": "Lucy_full_01.3375_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "This top-down, solar system view shows the entire Lucy mission in a Jupiter-rotating reference frame.
