Lucy will be the first spacecraft to study Jupiter\u2019s Trojan Asteroids. Like the mission\u2019s namesake \u2013 the fossilized human ancestor, \u201cLucy,\u201d whose skeleton provided unique insight into humanity\u2019s evolution \u2013 Lucy will revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system. (Bill Ingalls\/NASA via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 8:54 AM PT \u2013 Friday, October 15, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>NASA scientists discussed their latest mission of launching a spacecraft to explore asteroids in our solar system. On Thursday, officials said they are targeting to launch the vessel for its 12-year mission this coming weekend.<\/p>\n<p>NASA\u2019s \u2018Lucy\u2019 spacecraft will travel nearly 4 billion-miles as it sets out to explore and even destroy swarms of asteroids in Jupiter\u2019s orbit. Researchers said the spacecraft gets to fly closely near these objects, allowing them to be able to see what the asteroids really look like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to study the geology, surface composition, bulk properties and we\u2019re going to search for satellites around these objects,\u201d explained Cathy Olkin of the Southwestern Research Institute. \u201cI\u2019ll give you a flavor for some of our science investigations. One of them is to map the craters across our surfaces, the surface of the trojan asteroids. We\u2019re going to look for craters smaller than a football field.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Launching Lucy, continuing a legacy. <\/p>\n<p>ULA and our heritage rockets have launched exploration missions to every planet in the solar system\u2026 and beyond. <\/p>\n<p>Watch on YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LDY5J8fc2o\">https:\/\/t.co\/LDY5J8fc2o<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AtlasV?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AtlasV<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LucyMission?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LucyMission<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J8Ja1rHRQI\">pic.twitter.com\/J8Ja1rHRQI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ULA (@ulalaunch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ulalaunch\/status\/1448705084074905606?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to scientists, this mission is an outstanding opportunity and may unlock vital clues into the history of our solar system.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-cracks-whip-orders-dhs-to-help-illegal-workers\/\">Biden Cracks Whip \u2013 Orders DHS To Help Illegal Workers<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This photo provided by NASA shows a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with the Lucy spacecraft aboard at Space Launch Complex 41, Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021, at Cape Canaveral &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-883189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
