Manage episode 380310374 series 3021637
On this week's episode, we recap the PSYCHE mission after launch on October 13th, 2023 onboard a Falcon Heavy Rocket from Kennedy Space Center at LC-39A (side booster's recovered at LZ1 & LZ2). This is the a mission of many firsts, but primarily the 1st mission to an all-metal asteroid for NASA.
We discuss:
- WHAT is the PSYCHE Mission?
- WHAT is Asteroid 16 PSYCHE?
- WHAT is an M-Type Asteroid?
- HOW will PSYCHE move around in space?
- WHAT kind of science will PSYCHE do once in orbit at the all-metal asteroid?
- WHY is the successful Falcon Heavy launch a win for the whole space industry?
- WHAT new innovative technologies will be tested during the mission?
Best of luck to the PSYCHE team on their 6 year journey to the Asteroid located between Mars & Jupiter! A long but fascinating journey to explore the unknown.
