Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday, February 15 at 9:00pm Eastern to hear Dr. David Williams bring us the story of a NASA mission to investigate Psyche, the largest M-type asteroid in the Solar System.
Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest M-type (metal-dominated) asteroid in the Solar System, and has never been explored by spacecraft. In January 2017 NASA selected Arizona State University (ASU) to lead a Discovery-class mission to investigate this strange, new world. The Psyche mission is preparing to launch in August 2022 – what will it find? Please join Professor David Williams of ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, and a Psyche Mission Co-I and Deputy Imager Lead, to discuss the details of the Psyche Mission and what it may find as it explores this metal world.
