NASA's Goddard Space Center Unveils Revolutionary Framework for the ROMAN Spacecraft
NASA and the European Space Agency have come together to create a framework for the Roman mission to explore the asteroid 16 Psyche. This mission will provide insight into the formation of our solar system and the resources that lie within the asteroid. The mission will use the capabilities of the Goddard Space Flight Center to help put together a spacecraft that will launch in 2023 and reach Psyche in 2030. This mission will be an astronomical breakthrough, as it will be the first mission to explore a metal-rich asteroid. Scientists are hopeful that the mission will provide insight into the formation of planets and the history of our solar system.
