NASA's Trio of Exciting Missions: Exploring Asteroids, Quadrotors, and More

NASA is embarking on a series of exciting space missions, dubbed "asteroid autumn," that could provide insights into the origins of life and the solar system. The missions include the launch of NASA's Psyche spacecraft, which will explore the metal-rich asteroid 16 Psyche to determine its economic value and potential impact on Earth's economy. Another mission involves the recovery of a sample from the asteroid Bennu, which could contain pre-solar system material and shed light on the formation of planets and the origins of life. Additionally, the spacecraft Lucy will embark on a 12-year journey to study Trojan asteroids orbiting Jupiter, providing valuable information about planetary evolution.
