Later this year, NASA is set to launch a probe the size of a tennis court to the asteroid belt, a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where remnants of the early solar system circle the sun.
Ahead of the mission, which is led by principal investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton '87, SM '87, PhD '02, planetary scientists at MIT and elsewhere have now provided a sneak peak of what the Psyche spacecraft might see when it reaches its destination.
NASA's Lucy asteroid spacecraft solar array rescue efforts continuing | Space
NASA's Lucy mission team is continuing efforts to correct the incomplete deployment of one of the spacecraft's solar arrays as it continues to Jupiter's Trojan asteroids.
The Lucy mission , which launched in October 2021, has two large, circular solar arrays, each spanning 24 feet (7 meters), to provide power for its pioneering voyage. However, one of the arrays failed to fully deploy after launch, posing a problem for the team.
Analysis of 70-m Crater on Bennu Indicates Rubble Pile Surfaces May Be Much Weaker Than Previously ...
The surface characteristics of asteroids are invaluable to understanding their geologic history and material properties.
Mark Perry (Johns Hopkins University) and colleagues studied the distribution of impact ejecta around Bennu's Bralgah Crater to better understand the asteroid's regolith properties.

10 Things to Know About Ceres, the First Dwarf Planet to be Visited by a Spacecraft | iTech Post
Astronomers concluded that these objects were asteroids by 1863, and the area was dubbed the asteroid belt.
Ceres is named after Ceres, the Roman goddess of harvests and grain crops. Cereal is derived from the same name.
Ceres has a radius of only 296 miles (476 km). Even though Ceres makes up 25% of the overall mass of the asteroid belt, Pluto is 14 times bigger. Ceres would be around the size of a poppy seed if Earth were the size of a nickel.
