Lucy was launched from Cape Canaveral SLC-41 on 16 October 2021, at 09:34 UTC [3] on the 401 variant of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle. It gained one gravity assist from Earth a year later on 16 October 2022, [12] and after making a flyby of the asteroid 152830 Dinkinesh in 2023, [13] it will gain another gravity assist from Earth in 2024.
