Obligatory new thread for the Lucy mission, now that it has been selected by NASA to launch as Discovery mission 13! Lucy will launch in 2021, and will perform a flyby of a main belt asteroid in 2025, before making flybys of at least six Jupiter trojans from 2027 to 2033. The mission, led by the Southwest Research Institute and Principal Investigator Harold F. Levison, will send a spacecraft carrying updated versions of New Horizons' LORRI and RALPH instruments.
Be sure to check out r/lucymission on reddit as well! EDIT: I have made a mistake. Could a kind mod please move this thread to the "Cometary and Asteroid Missions" subforum? ADMIN: Done. Note for the new members: Generally speaking, please consult a member of the admin/mod team before creating new topics. Not a hard rule, but it does help to keep the place tidy. Also, we encourage all members to review this welcome post for orientation purposes. Thanks! |

Googling for information, whether there is a press conference scheduled, etc... found this article about sifting through WISE data to do a study:
https://www.nasa.gov/missions/lucy/data-fro...roid-dinkinesh/ ... small enough to be detectable, but not detected, per se. Will be interesting to see if these images are novel or not. It's such a small object... |
