As of August 2020, NASA officially approved the construction of its asteroid hunting spacecraft named Lucy.
Lucy will be the first space mission in history to be launched to so many different destinations in independent orbits around our sun. The spacecraft will complete a 12-year journey visiting eight different asteroids in two large asteroid clouds near Jupiter known as the Trojan asteroids.
Although Lucy won’t be landing on any of the asteroids, the spacecraft will be mapping their surface geology, color, composition, densities, and it will even be keeping a look out for surprising mini satellites or rings that the asteroids could be pulling in.
Using an extensive suite of advanced instruments, Lucy will revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system.
