Inside NASA's Psyche Mission to Learn about Collisions and Crater Formation || NASA
Channel: NASA Universal unveiled
Date: 2023-09-09

One of the first steps in understanding the geology of Psyche is for the Psyche science team to find out more about collisions and crater formation on metallic asteroids. Join Psyche Mission Science Team Co-Investigator Simone Marchi of the Southwest Research Institute as he explains how impact experiments are conducted at NASA's Ames Vertical Gun Range and what we can learn about the cratering process to further understand and interpret the geology of Psyche.

NASA was established in response to the Soviet Union's successful launch of Sputnik in 1957, marking the start of the space race. Its mission is to explore space, conduct research, and develop space technologies. NASA has achieved iconic milestones like the Apollo Moon landings and the Space Shuttle program. It currently operates the International Space Station and is working on the Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon, with future plans for Mars missions.
