๐ญ NASA Psyche probe aced its Mars flyby and is now on a fast track to a rare metal-rich asteroid in 2029
The Psyche spacecraft used Mars gravity to slingshot itself toward the asteroid 16 Psyche โ a unique, metal-rich world that may be the exposed iron-nickel core of a long-dead protoplanet. Scientists believe up-close observations could reveal what Earth own inaccessible core looks like. The flyby went perfectly, keeping the mission on schedule for its 2029 arrival. What do you think they will actually find when they get there?
