The award recognizes the team behind the mission's successful collection of a pristine asteroid sample for laying "the groundwork for forging the next generation of scientists, astronomers, geologists and more."
The NASA Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids is expected to launch Oct. 16. Unique to this mission are the multiple ways that ASU is involved: The spacecraft is named in honor of the “Lucy” fossil discovered in 1974 by ASU's Donald Johanson; onboard is an ASU-led instrument; and watching the launch will be thousands of students who have attended the ASU-led “L’SPACE” Academy.
