Project Lyra

Project Lyra is a feasibility study of a mission to the interstellar object ʻOumuamua, initiated on the 30 October 2017 by the Initiative for Interstellar Studies (i4is).[1][2][3][4]

Overview

The suggested options for sending a spacecraft to ʻOumuamua within a time-frame of 5 to 10 years are based on using first a Jupiter flyby followed by a close solar flyby at 3 solar radii in order to take advantage of the Oberth effect or more advanced options such as a solar sail and a laser sail.[5][6]
