So if it's all gone well, Psyche (the spacecraft) is now climbing out of Mars's gravity well, and has increased in speed, and adjusted it's plane to be on an intercept Psyche (the asteroid).

Looking forward to seeing a report on how well it's gone.

NASA’s recently launched asteroid hunter, Psyche, is designed to give us a look at a body that could resemble depths far within the Earth, where we can never go.

But one instrument tagging along for a ride is exciting scientists who specialize in a completely different field — that of space communications.

Laser-like focus on the future: Using experimental laser technology aboard #MissionToPsyche, engineers will attempt to demonstrate 10 to 100 times the data capacity of state-of-the-art radio systems used in interplanetary missions today. 📡

With less than 100 days to go before launch, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is undergoing final preparations at Cape Canaveral. 🚀 The #MissionToPsyche will journey to a place we've never visited before – a metal-rich asteroid. https://youtu.be/y__vwRQ3PVg
