How Will
Ғылым және технология
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft will use highly sensitive cameras to allow scientists to see a metal-rich asteroid that’s never been imaged up close before.
Planetary scientist and Psyche mission co-investigator Jim Bell of Arizona State University, along with his instrument team, developed this critical technology in collaboration with Main Space Science Systems.
Psyche’s multispectral imager consists of a pair of identical cameras with filters and telescopic lenses that will photograph the surface of the asteroid in different wavelengths of light. It will provide the data needed to build a digital terrain model of the asteroid’s surface, contribute to revealing Psyche’s geochemistry and composition, and help with navigation.
Whether the asteroid Psyche is the partial core of a planetesimal (a building block of the rocky planets in our solar system) or primordial material that never melted, scientists expect the mission to help answer fundamental questions about Earth’s own metal core and the formation of our solar system.
Psyche is expected to launch in October 2023. The spacecraft will begin orbiting the asteroid Psyche in 2029.

I'm so grateful this mission persevered despite any of the reported struggles NASA was having internally with it from several months ago. And there isn't a doubt in my mind that it's thanks to people like the ones featured here. When you love what you do, when you're driven to see something through for the benefit of all, and especially when you're able to join forces with similarly devoted people, there's just no stopping you. Thank you, guys.
Good Luck & Best Wishes NASA!
awesome good work JPL AND NASA
Landsat/ERTS...multi-spectral imagery...I worked at Goddard in building 23 back in the day...mid 1970s...great job, great programs, great experience. Looking forward to seeing what the Psyche mission discovers.
Can't wait!!! 😎😎😎
Someday, people will speak of how scientists and engineers were able to accomplish amazing things with what will - by then - be considered primitive technology.

They already do. There are so many incredible inventions from the past which would ve cobsidered primitive or basic today. I'll give you two examples here: The first is wIt used to be that houses (at least in Europe) were often built with a combination of materials called wattle and daub, a building technique where mud (daub) is formed around a tight lattice of sticks (wattle) to form the walls of a house. Often the mud would be mixed with hay and other materials to give it strength. The method was quite primitive by today's standards but was a common, inexpensive way of building houses for a long time across much of europe and (I think) the middle east. The second is a much more well known invention: the plow, this tool was absolutely revolutionary to agriculture as it greatly cut down on the amount of time that it would take to prepare a field for planting, it is but one of the many tools rhat was essential for the development of modern agriculture (for better and worse). If you want to learn more about unsung history, might I recommend to you The History Guy, he does a lot of great content, though it is mostly stories of strange and extraordinary events and people who are little known.

The Apollo deniers (claim without proof) that in the 1960's, we did not have the technology to get to the moon and back. I've asked them several times what technology was absent. They NEVER answer.

Yes, that is what progress is.
I salute you all. It touched my heart. It's an awesome work.
Very nice.
great

Space Exploration will be 1000 times cheaper when missions are built and launched from a spaceport on the Moon.
No lidar mapping ?

Optical navigation sounds a lot like plate solving when imagining from earth.
Why is it named Psyche? And what did you mean by “fortunate that I was involved in ‘creating’ some of those”?

It's named Psyche because that's where it's headed to. 😐

If Psyche is made of metal will we be able to drill it for samples and return them back to Earth, like we did with OSIRIS-Rex? It will be really interesting to find out from what type of materials this asteroid is made!
@hamzahkhan8952

its possible, but very difficult. Bennu is a very loosely bound asteroid so there was no drilling required to get a sample, making it much easier to get a sample from. OSIRIS-Rex didnt even have to land on the asteroid to take a sample, while you would have to do that for Psyche.

It's lucky the population is so dumbed down nowadays that people actually believe the hype that this thing is going to be drilled and the metal brought to earth!!

This is one of the most fintastinating missions we can do at present. The origins of its past events can only be of great importtance.
