We present new Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based Keck observations and
new Keplerian orbit solutions for the mutual orbit of binary Jupiter Trojan
asteroid (617) Patroclus and Menoetius, targets of NASA’s Lucy mission. We
predict event times for the upcoming mutual event season, which is anticipated
to run from late 2017 through mid 2019.
