NASA's DSOC experiment passed yet another milestone, interfacing with the Psyche spacecraft and beaming data back to Earth from 140 million miles away.

The first tests of optical communications far from Earth will take place aboard the asteroid-bound Psyche spacecraft

A distant lump of space rock may have a surprising amount in common with the core of our own planet.

NASA named its asteroid space mission Psyche because the asteroid is believed to be the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet. Psyche is a unique and valuable target for study, as it could provide scientists with insights into the formation of early planets.

SpaceX has finally launched NASA's uncrewed Psyche spacecraft aboard its eighth Falcon Heavy flight.

NASA will today launch its mission to a distant asteroid called Psyche where it hopes to find nickel, gold and gemstones.

NASA has launched a spacecraft to study the metal asteroid Psyche to determine whether it’s the exposed core of an early planetary building block.

An American space agency (Nasa) probe has left Earth to visit one of the most unusual objects in the Solar System. The craft is heading to a metal world - an asteroid called 16 Psyche - which telescopic observations suggest is made from up to 60% iron and nickel. The launch of the investigating spacecraft, also named Psyche, took place from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
