NASA's Psyche Mission Set to Launch in October
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Psyche mission to explore the rare asteroid 16 Psyche, which is believed to be made almost entirely of iron and nickel and worth as much as $10,000 quadrillion, is set to launch between October 5 and 25. The spacecraft will orbit the asteroid for 26 months to gain insights into planetary formation and provide a better understanding of the interior of terrestrial planets like Earth. The mission was delayed last year due to development problems but has since addressed all recommendations and made outstanding progress, according to an independent review board.
