"NASA's Lucy Probe Fires Main Engines in Space for First Time"

NASA's Lucy spacecraft, on a mission to explore the Trojan asteroids, will fire its main engines in space for the first time this week, burning through half of its onboard fuel. This will be followed by a larger maneuver to change its velocity, setting it on a new trajectory to visit various asteroids and moonlets, including a flyby of Earth in 2024. The spacecraft will then head towards the Trojan asteroids, with the mission concluding in 2033 after visiting multiple asteroids and moonlets.
