Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Lucy trajectory is shown in a frame rotating with Jupiter. The launch window opens on 2021 October 16. After two Earth gravity assists (in 2022 and 2025) that raise the aphelion, Lucy transfers to the L4 Trojan cloud where the spacecraft encounters Eurybates and Queta, Polymele, Leucus, and Orus between 2007 August and 2028 November. After a return to Earth for another gravity assist in 2030 December, Lucy heads for the L5 cloud where it encounters the Patroclus–Menoetius binary (PMB) in 2033 March.
