NASA's Lucy Spacecraft Begins 12-Year Mission with Successful Flyby of Asteroid Dinkinesh

Broke On: Wednesday, 01 November 2023 NASA's Lucy spacecraft has successfully completed its first flyby of an asteroid named Dinkinesh. The mission is significant as it is the farthest-flung solar-powered spacecraft and the first to explore seven Trojan asteroids that share an orbital path with Jupiter. Despite one of the two solar wings on the spacecraft remaining loose, it is believed to be stable enough for the entire mission.
