(2 months ago)NASA has sent its space shuttle Psyche Spacecraft to an important maneuver near Mars, where it will use the planet's gravity to change its speed and trajectory to the Psyche asteroid.
The ship will pass very close to Mars, and this “gravity assistance” will take it to the asteroid generation between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists believe that the Psyche asteroid may be the metal nucleus of an early planet, and its study may help to understand how the earth is formed.
The mission was launched in 2023 and expected to reach the asteroid in 2029, Euronews writes, broadcast Periscope.
