NASA is planning to launch its Psyche spacecraft this week for a rendezvous with an asteroid, but the lift-off may be delayed. The Falcon Heavy rocket has been prepared for launch at Launch Complex 39 in Florida. NASA has unveiled the first glimpse of a space rock collected from an asteroid, which could provide insights into the origin of life. The agency has also revealed the first analysis of an asteroid set to crash into Earth in the next 150 years. The mission to the metal-rich asteroid is being hailed as an astrobiologist's dream. The launch of the Psyche mission has been postponed due to poor weather conditions. The mission aims to study the metal contents of the asteroid. SpaceX is set to launch the Psyche probe using a Falcon Heavy rocket. The probe will rendezvous with the asteroid and collect samples.
“We picked the right asteroid,” said Daniel Glavin, a NASA astrobiologist working on the mission. “And not only that, we brought back the right sample. This stuff is an astrobiologist’s dream.” https://t.co/Nub2sPMKfy
