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.
