It will do the following:-

It will take pictures of the six Jupiter trojans, visit the main belt asteroid and send those to the earth. It will be able to take such pictures that have not been possible till today, even not with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope. Lucy will launch with boosts from Earth's gravity and it will complete a 12-year journey to eight different asteroids — a Main Belt asteroid and seven Trojans. Lucy’s complex path will take it to both clusters of Trojans and give us our first close-up view of all three major types of bodies in the swarms

-----------------------------------

It works in the following way:-

Lucy has the following instruments :-

L'Ralph

·       It will take colour images of Trojan asteroids using visible and infra-red light.

·       It will help to map craters and mountains

·       Figure out what the asteroids are made out of

L'Lorri

·       Long range imager

·       This Camera will provide the most detailed images of the surfaces of the Trojan Asteroids.

·       It will help us to figure out what has been happening system formed since our Solar System was formed.

L’Tes

·       Thermal Emission Spectrometer, that is a touchless thermometer.

·       It will measure the temperatures of the surface of the Trojan Asteroids.

·       It will help to figure out whether the surfaces are rocky or dusty.

T2CAMS

·       These are the tracking cameras that make sure to keep the asteroids, in view, all the time.

High Gain Antenna

·       It will help to communicate with the Earth.

·       The scientist at earth will make use of Lucy’s radio signals to measure the mass of each asteroid when it passes.

Two solar panels

·       These will give Lucy the electrical power up there in the space although it would go farther away from the sun.

-----------------------------------

The Benefits of this mission :-

We can study the Trojan Asteroids in complete detail. It will take a journey all the way up to the Trojan Asteroids that are considered to be the left over after the birth of the Jupiter and other outer planets. These have not changed much and hence, we might get the information about the Solar System and be capable of finding out more wondrous facts and uncover the deepest mysteries.

-----------------------------------

I hope to achieve :-

I hope that, after Lucy is launched to as many different destinations in independent orbits around our sun, Lucy will show us, for the first time, the diversity of the primordial bodies that built the planets. 

-----------------------------------

I used the following in my project :-

• PowerPoint Presentation
• Photos
• 3D Viewer
• Movies & TV
• MS Word

-------------------------------------

I used the data from the following organizations:-

• NASA : Content and picture
• Wikipedia : Content
• Sketchfab : 3D Model

I could see the diverse facts that the various websites provided, hence I collected the data and pictures for my projects from various websites to make my content as much as interactive and complete.

My journey of the hackathon was amazing. I enjoyed doing the projects very much and loved to make myself think about my project more , brings ideas and collect information. I tried with my best . I hope that I would be able to do better as grow up and gather more knowledge.

-------------------------------

I learned to make 3D models with Tinkercad software, export videos in an appealing mannerand get know a lot about Lucy satellite.

--------------------------------

I was inspired by the Lucy satellite's work, i.e., it will revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the SOLAR SYSTEM.

--------------------------------

My approach to this project included the following steps:-

• Develop : 3D models
• Create : Chart and table (of my plan)
• Make : PowerPoint Presentation
• Insert : Pictures, models , text, and sounds
• Export : My project as a video

---------------------------------

I have gone through the complete journey myself , the sole participant. I had to find out about how can I use my skills and make it into something interesting.

---------------------------------

I would love to thank :-

NASA :For giving me such an opportunity at an early grade and age to display my potentials and make good use of it.

MY PARENTS : They are my guider and instructor. They always inspire and encourage me to take part in different projects, programs and challenges.
