Monitoring Earth’s Climate | This Week at NASA

Monitoring Earth’s Climate | This Week at NASA

This Week @NASA – March 11, 2022: Showcasing our efforts to monitor Earth’s climate, a spacecraft for an asteroid mission is close to its final configuration, and assembly of our Europa Clipper spacecraft is underway . . . a few of the stories to tell you about—This Week at NASA!

Psyche is both the name of an asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter—and the name of a NASA space mission to visit that asteroid, led by Arizona State University. Join the Psyche team to explore why this mission was selected for NASA’s Discovery Program, how we will get to the asteroid, what we hope to learn from Psyche, and the importance of scientific discovery. With its solar arrays installed, the spacecraft is close to its final configuration ahead of a planned August 2022 launch.

More About the Psyche Mission

Arizona State University leads the Psyche mission. the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which is managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, California, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies is providing the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis. Psyche was selected in 2017 as the 14th mission under NASA’s Discovery Program.
