Meet the NASA Psyche Team Who Will Map Psyche’s Elemental Composition || NASA
Channel: NASA Universal unveiled
Date: 2023-09-10

Meet the team designing and building the Psyche mission's gamma ray and neutron spectrometer. This instrument on the spacecraft will detect, measure, and map Psyche’s elemental composition. It is mounted on a 6-foot (2-meter) boom to distance the sensors from background radiation created by energetic particles interacting with the spacecraft and to provide an unobstructed field of view. The team is based at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University and is led by Principal Investigator David Lawrence.

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.
