NASA's Lucy Mission: Extending Solar Arrays for Epic Space Odyssey

"Witness the Power of Exploration: NASA's Lucy Mission Unveils its Extended Solar Arrays"
Embark on a journey of innovation as NASA's Lucy mission marks a significant milestone. The mission's monumental solar arrays are put to the test in the thermal vacuum chamber at Lockheed Martin Space, Littleton, Colorado. Spanning nearly 24 feet (7.3 m) each, these circular arrays signify a groundbreaking advancement.

Fueling Lucy's 12-year odyssey through the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, these awe-inspiring arrays redefine solar power missions. A record-breaking venture, Lucy's journey spans an astounding 530 million miles (853 million km) from the Sun. Serving as the lifeline for the spacecraft, these expansive solar arrays harness the power of sunlight, propelling Lucy through the depths of space. Join us in witnessing the dawn of a new era in exploration, where technological prowess meets the cosmos.
