DESCRIPTION:“Psyche” is both the name of an asteroid in the main belt\
 , orbiting out past Mars\, and the name of our mission to visit that aster
 oid. Psyche’s density\, radar\, and reflected light properties indicate 
 that it is largely made of metal. Humans have never visited a world made o
 f metal. So if Psyche turns out to be what we think\, we’ll be visiting 
 a new kind of world.\n\nOur spacecraft will launch in August 2022 – just
  19 months away! – and in 2026 will begin orbiting Psyche and performing
  carefully planned scientific measurements. In this talk we’ll discuss t
 he state of the mission and our plans\, and\, especially\, what we each ar
 e doing on the mission and how we got here.\n\nPsyche will surprise us. Th
 e universe always outsteps even our best imaginations. And our whole Psych
 e team looks forward to sharing all we discover with everyone here on Eart
 h.\n
