NASA's mission to capture the asteroid 16 Psyche, valued at an astonishing $10 quintillion, is progressing steadily. Launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in October 2023, the spacecraft has been journeying through space at 84,000mph, covering a distance of 2.2 billion miles. Expected to reach its destination in August 2029, the vessel is currently in "full cruise" mode, propelled by electric thrusters towards the asteroid belt.

#NASA to test potential 400Mbps laser link for #Mars
The Deep Space Optical Communications (#DSOC) experiment will head off into the void with #Psyche, an #asteroid-chasing probe that is scheduled to blast off on October 5. While they journey toward #16Psyche, a metal-rich asteroid, the DSOC system will spend two years attempting to communicate via laser with two ground stations in Southern California.
