In 2024, NASA made leap after giant leap to explore, discover, and inspire - all while bringing real, tangible, and substantial benefits to the American people and to all of humanity, said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
One of the most ambitious trips of the year will be China's Tianwen-2, which is set for launch in May 2025. Tianwen-2 is an asteroid sample return mission with near-Earth asteroid Kamoʻoalewa (2016 HO3) as its destination. It will collect about 100g of dusty surface rock before returning to Earth.
