Planning a Grand Tour
I made a very minor contribution to one of the instruments on Lucy. This is a long term mission. I’ll be 76 when the the spacecraft makes its main belt flyby, almost 81 when it makes the last flyby in the Greek camp of Trojan asteroids, and 85 when it flies through the Trojan camp.

A Mission to the Trojan Asteroids
I made a minor contribution to the L’Ralph instrument on Lucy. It’s a very long mission. I’ll be 85 when Lucy flies by Trojan L5 binary asteroid (617) Patroclus-Menoetius in 2033.

I made a minor contribution to small part of the imaging system that is being integrated into the Lucy spacecraft. I hope I’m still around to see some of the images that come back from the L4 flybys in 2033.
