News Brief
The ULA (United Launch Alliance) is scheduled to launch NASA's Lucy Mission (also known as Discovery 13) this morning at 5:34am. Even though the launch window is 23 days long, the Atlas rocket is a very reliable one, so unless there is a problem with the weather, the launch should take place this morning.
