A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket with the Psyche spacecraft onboard is launched from Launch Complex 39A on Friday, October 13, 2023, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.NASA/Aubrey Gemignani The spacecraft, which has a mass of just over 6,000 pounds at launch, made it through Earth...
Psyche, the NASA mission to explore a metal-rock asteroid of the same name, recently passed a crucial milestone that brings it closer to its August 2022 launch date. Now the mission is moving from planning and designing to high-gear manufacturing of the spacecraft hardware that will fly to ...
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) had hoped to launch Psyche in 2022, but the team detected a minor bug in the flight software, delaying the launch from August to September 2022. However, testing and validation took longer than expected. Due to the motion of the planets, NASAhad to ...

A mission to a metallic asteroid called Psyche is set to launch in August 2022, while Lucy, a mission that will explore some of the asteroids near Jupiter, has an even sooner October 2021 launch date. Two Japanese missions, Hayabusa and Hayabusa2, have also already sampled asteroids — ...
The Psyche spacecraft just fired a laser on its way to a metal asteroiod, in a test that could help speed up science transmissions across the solar system.
as well as our own planet. NASA’s early work on launch vehicles, communication satellites, and weather satellites has fundamentally changed daily life and created whole new industries. As a catalyst for international cooperation, NASA has also changed how and why humanity conducts space exploration...
