Pieces of Psyche
Space Exploration
The NASA Psyche Mission, led by ASU, launched a satellite in October 2023 to study 16 Psyche, a metal-rich asteroid that may reveal clues about Earth’s origins. The satellite will reach Mars for its gravity assist in May 2026, arrive at the asteroid mid-2029, and finish collecting data after 1,000+ orbits. The mission brings scientists, students, and designers together in the search for new discoveries and understanding—so get ready!
