NASA's Psyche Mission to a Metal-Rich Asteroid (Teaser Trailer)

There are millions of asteroids in our solar
system, so why is NASA going to the asteroid
Psyche? Scientists think this particular
asteroid, which orbits the Sun between Mars
and Jupiter, could be part of the metal-rich
interior of a planetesimal, a building block of
the rocky planets in our solar system. Visiting
Psyche and studying it up close could help us
understand how planets like Mercury, Venus,
Earth, and Mars came to be.
Join us on the journey to the first metal-rich
asteroid humankind has ever visited. The
Psyche mission is set to launch as early as Oct.
12, 2023. Watch live launch commentary at
