Getting Ready for Lucy's Launch!
On October 16, NASA's Lucy mission will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with the SETI Institute's Franck Marchis on the scene. The Lucy mission is the first space mission to explore the small bodies known as the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. Join Franck and a group of citizen astronomers on the day before launch day:

  • A special SETI live with Arin Asvar, Rachel Knight, and Kevin Voeller, citizen scientists who participated in an occultation campaign to figure out the shape of Patroclus, one of Lucy's targets
  • On the eve of the launch of NASA's Lucy Mission, they will tell us about their trip and excitement about seeing this event live from Florida
  • We'll discuss the importance of the Lucy mission and upcoming citizen science events to support the mission
