NASA s Psyche Mission to an Asteroid Official NASA Trailer

Join the journey as NASA’s Psyche mission team prepares for a targeted Oct. 5, 2023, launch to explore a unique metallic asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid, likely made largely of nickel-iron metal mixed with rock, could contain metal from the core of a planetesimal (the building block of an early rocky planet) and may offer a unique window into the violent history of collisions and accretion that created the terrestrial planets like Earth. Arizona State University leads the Psyche mission.

JPL, which is managed by Caltech for NASA, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis.

NASA was established in response to the Soviet Union's successful launch of Sputnik in 1957, marking the start of the space race. Its mission is to explore space, conduct research, and develop space technologies. NASA has achieved iconic milestones like the Apollo Moon landings and the Space Shuttle program. It currently operates the International Space Station and is working on the Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon, with future plans for Mars missions.
