The Lucy mission is a pioneering endeavor set to explore the Trojan asteroids of Jupiter. Launched in October 2021, Lucy will embark on a mission to study these ancient remnants of the early solar system. By visiting multiple Trojan asteroids and their diverse compositions, Lucy aims to unlock valuable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system. This mission will provide a unique opportunity to investigate the origins of these asteroids and shed light on the dynamic processes that have shaped our cosmic neighborhood over billions of years. With its innovative instrumentation and carefully planned trajectory, Lucy represents a significant milestone in our quest to understand the history and diversity of the solar system.
