The Psyche spacecraft will journey to a unique metal-rich asteroid with the same name, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. This is NASA’s first mission to study an asteroid that has more metal than rock or ice. With its solar arrays deployed, NASA's Psyche spacecraft would just about cover a tennis court.
NASA and SpaceX are targeting Oct. 12, 2023, at 10:16 a.m. EDT for launch from Kennedy Space Center. Psyche will lift off from Launch Pad 39A aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. (Psyche is the first in a series of NASA science missions to be the primary payloads launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.)
Scientists have recently unveiled compelling new data about the Psyche asteroid, a celestial object laden with precious metals and valued at an astounding $10,000 quadrillion.
