Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>While the team has already submitted a white paper to NASA’s Decadal Survey, it remains to be seen if their proposal will be adopted. A team of researchers has come up with a plan specifying how a spacecraft, if launched in the next few years, could catch up with an enigmatic interstellar object known as ‘Oumuamua and snap a picture of it up close, Live Science reports.<\/p>\n

Originating from somewhere beyond our Solar system, ‘Oumuamua passed by Earth in 2017 and is currently estimated to be somewhere outside Neptune’s orbit, heading towards the Pegasus constellation, researchers from UK-registered non-profit Initiative for Interstellar Studies (i4is) together with their colleagues from the US and Europe propose that a spacecraft launched by 2028 could still catch up to that object.<\/p>\n

Under the so called \u201cProject Lyra\u201d proposed by the team, a spacecraft launched from Earth would swing by Venus and our planet, which would allow it to reach Jupiter with minimal fuel. Then, the craft would burn fuel to accelerate and slingshot past Jupiter toward ‘Oumuamua at a speed of about 133,200 kilometres per hour. While the team has already submitted a white paper, NASA’s Decadal Survey, it remains to be seen whether their proposal will be implemented.<\/p>\n
