NASA Psyche Mission: Spacecraft

NASA Psyche Mission: Spacecraft

Description

The spacecraft destined to meet the asteroid Psyche. The Psyche spacecraft including the solar panels is about the size of a singles tennis court. The body of the spacecraft is slightly bigger than a Smart Car and about as tall as a regulation basketball hoop. The spacecraft will include a Gamma Ray and Neutron Spectrometer, a Multispectral Imager, a Magnetometer and an x-band radio telecommunications system. The Psyche mission will also test a sophisticated new laser communication technology, called Deep Space Optical Communication, that encodes data in photons to communicate between a probe in deep space and Earth.
