00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,519
launch complex 41 at cape canaveral

10
00:00:34,229 --> 00:00:32,160
space force station the launch of lucy

11
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,239
was managed by nasa's launch services

12
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,880
program based at kennedy space center

spacecraft to study the trojans

18
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:51,120
lucy's complex trajectory includes three

19
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:53,520
earth gravity assists and covers almost

20
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,480
4 billion miles over 12 years

21
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,640
it will become the first spacecraft to

22
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,800
return to the vicinity of earth from the

23
