- On Nov. 1 2023, NASA's Lucy spacecraft will fly by the small Main Belt asteroid Dinkinesh (previously known as 1999 VD57). This asteroid flyby was added to Lucy’s list of targets in January 2023. The primary purpose of the Dinkinesh encounter is to test the spacecraft’s Terminal Tracking System, which will keep Lucy's instruments pointing at the asteroid as it flies by at 10,000 miles per hour. The Lucy mission’s record-breaking tour will now explore at least ten small solar system bodies. Lucy will have the close approach with Dinkinesh as the spacecraft skims the inner edge of the main asteroid belt. After the encounter, Lucy will head back towards Earth for its second gravity assist in December 2024. That assist will send the spacecraft to explore the Jupiter Trojan asteroids.

Background music a little too loud, guys
Music too loud!
Excellent work brothers and sisters!
November 1st is going to be my birthday. A flyby will be nice with 152830 Dinkinesh.
Safe flight Lucy!
Did it have a sample return module? ( for science)
awesome good luck
I predict that Dinkinesh will be a roughly diamond shaped rubble pile.
With a little bunch of armadillo-looking things living inside it
@@williamchamberlain2263Don’t forget my house (I live there).
🔥🔥🔥💫
wow only 2 years to reach these trojans? amazing. So why do we have to wait 6 years for Psyche mission?
Looks like Dinkinesh is a main belt asteroid, not a trojan. Lucy reaches its first trojan asteroid in August 2027, about 6 years after it launched.
Why is NASA still trying to use "miles" as a unit of measurement? Very unscientific.
Nasa doesn’t. This is just a promotional video. Internally they use metric.
They are mostly talking to Americans (who pay their bills,) who mostly refuse to learn metric.
Who cares, it's a measurement regardless.
Since YT won't let me block shorts I am dropping you.
100% bs!! 😅😅😅
Asteroid Belts & Swarms are truly a "Target Rich Environment" ! 😉
Surely more "surprise science" to come ? 🚀🛰🪨🔭
