Dr Ben Weiss, MIT and Psyche Deputy Principle Investigator joined us at Interplanetary Life 2026 and discussed his Psyche Mission journey from an initial 2010 question, to and exploration idea, and eventually the NASA Discovery Mission.
Launched in 2023, Psyche is equipped with ion propulsion, has successfully completed a communication technology demonstration, and recently performed a Mars gravity assist. It aims to achieve another milestone for NASA by becoming the first mission to explore what may be an ancient planetary core.
