NASA's Psyche spacecraft has been successfully launched, embarking on a groundbreaking mission to explore an asteroid of the same name, which is a metal-rich world that holds the potential to shed light on the formation of rocky planets.
Integrated onto the Psyche spacecraft is NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications technology demonstration, aimed at testing deep space laser communications for future exploration missions, providing increased data transmission bandwidth compared to traditional radio frequency communications.
Shortly after launch, the spacecraft separated from the rocket, and it entered a planned safe mode, during which it performed minimal engineering activities while awaiting further commands from mission controllers on Earth.
Psyche established two-way communication at 11:50 a.m. EDT with NASA's Deep Space Network complex in Canberra, Australia, and initial telemetry reports indicated that the spacecraft is in good health.
The Psyche spacecraft is set to reach the 173-mile-wide metal-class asteroid by August 2029. This asteroid is unique due to its high iron-nickel metal content, which could signify it being a partial core of a planetesimal, a building block of an early planet.
The mission's goal is a 26-month science investigation, where it will orbit the asteroid and unlock valuable insights about planet formation.
The spacecraft relies on solar electric propulsion for its six-year journey to the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, using Mars' gravity as a slingshot to accelerate its journey.
During the first 100 days of the mission, a commissioning phase will ensure all flight systems are functioning correctly, including electric thrusters and scientific instruments.
The spacecraft was launched at 10:19 a.m. EDT from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
Psyche is the 14th mission chosen under NASA's Discovery Program and is a collaborative effort led by Arizona State University, managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with support from SpaceX and various technology demonstration projects.

Black Friday seems to start earlier every year, and honestly, I'm of two minds about this phenomenon. The part of me that's a stickler hates how a literal one-day event has morphed into a two-week season that spans either side of Fri, 24 Nov. That said, the insatiable deals-hungry bargain hunter in me cares not for accuracy. He just wants cheap things. All day. Every day.
It’s been years since Konami had any sort of meaningful involvement in major AAA game development, though the company is, of course, looking to re-enter the space with a number of upcoming major projects, including multiple Silent Hill games.
Konami is hiring for «large-scale projects» associated with its Silent Hill franchise.
Since the Wright brothers invented the airplane in 1903, one aspect of how we fly hasn't changed. Evolving plane design and improved engines aside, almost all modern aircraft have one thing in common: They're powered by combustible fuels.
NASA with SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully launched its 29th commercial resupply mission yesterday from launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 8:28 pm EST on November 9, 2023. The resupply includes various scientific experiments and technology demonstrations along with optical communications and measurement of atmospheric waves was shipped to the International Space Station. Know what the resupply mission will deliver.
It has not been a vintage year for romantic comedies. (It hasn’t been a vintage year for this undervalued genre for quite some time.) There have been just a couple of brighter spots: Rye Lane’s colorful walk-and-talk through the streets of South London, Red, White & Royal Blue’s fanfic-adjacent queer romance. In series, Apple’s Platonic, with the ever-delightful pairing of Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, attempted to twist the genre to focus on an obsessive, semi-toxic friendship. It found some rich material on the way, but predictably floundered when it came to the payoff because it had nowhere to go. This is the thing with rom-coms: More than almost any other genre, they are incredibly strictly codified, and you really do have to play them by the book.
On November 1, NASA's Lucy spacecraft flew by its first-ever asteroid target, named Dinkinesh. The asteroid was observed up close by the spacecraft which made a shocking new discovery - the Dinkinesh asteroid had a small satellite orbiting it! There is more to this than just that. After fully studying the data sent by the Lucy spacecraft, scientists have revealed that the satellite is not made up of one, but two smaller objects touching each other. This is known as a close binary.
