NASA's Lucy probe dodges space traffic around Earth in gravity-assist flyby
NASA's Lucy spacecraft has successfully performed its first gravity-assist flyby of Earth, dodging tens of thousands of satellites and bits of debris.
To get Lucy closer to the Trojans, mission control will have the spacecraft perform multiple gravity assists around Earth to put it on a path toward Jupiter. NASA successfully completed the first one. Lucy came just 351 kilometres from Earth's surface, bringing it closer than most orbiting spacecraft, such as the International Space Station.
