"NASA's Psyche Mission: Stunning First Images and Solar Revelation"
NASA's Psyche spacecraft, currently millions of miles from Earth, has successfully activated its scientific instruments and captured its first images using twin cameras. The spacecraft, which set a record with its electric thrusters, is on its way to the asteroid Psyche in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The mission team has also observed unexpected solar eruptions using the magnetometer instrument, which will provide crucial data about the asteroid's formation. Additionally, the spacecraft has achieved first light with its deep space optical communications experiment and powered on the gamma-ray detecting component of its third science instrument.
