Unveiling NASA's Psyche Mission: Navigating an Enigmatic Metallic Realm

In this artistic portrayal, we embark on an exploration of an intriguing celestial body named Psyche—an asteroid that presents an exceptional vantage point to decipher the foundational constituents of planet formation. The forthcoming NASA Psyche mission, slated for launch in 2023, is poised to rendezvous with the asteroid Psyche, situated in the space between Mars and Jupiter, by 2026. Aptly named Psyche, the spacecraft's mission encompasses a 21-month sojourn revolving around the asteroid, meticulously charting its features and delving into its intrinsic attributes.

Leading this endeavor is Principal Investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton, representing Arizona State University. At the helm of the mission's comprehensive orchestration, encompassing system engineering, integration, testing, and mission operations, is NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The formidable task of the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis is undertaken by Maxar Technologies.
