The Psyche mission is a journey to a unique metal asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. What makes the asteroid Psyche unique is that it appears to be the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet, one of the building blocks of our solar system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep within rocky, terrestrial planets \u2013 including Earth \u2013 scientists infer the presence of metallic cores, but these lie unreachably far below the planets’ rocky mantles and crusts. Because we cannot see or measure Earth\u2019s core directly, Psyche offers a unique window into the violent history of collisions and accretion that created terrestrial planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission is led by Arizona State University. NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is responsible for mission management, operations and navigation. The spacecraft\u2019s solar-electric propulsion chassis will be built by Maxar Technologies with a payload that includes an imager, magnetometer, and a gamma-ray spectrometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
