NASA’s Ambitious Plan
NASA’s aging spacecraft might just have a remarkable opportunity ahead. Scientists believe they could utilize the Jupiter Oberth Maneuver to intercept the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. This exciting prospect is set for March 14, 2026, when the spacecraft will align perfectly to follow the comet’s path.
As technology evolves, so do the missions of these aging spacecraft. The potential to capture data from 3I/ATLAS could provide unprecedented insights into the composition and behavior of interstellar objects. This comet, originating from outside our solar system, offers a rare glimpse into the cosmos that we seldom encounter.
