We are thinking about ways to involve more postdocs and junior faculty in the @MissionToPsyche science team.

What ideas do you have?

Some goals: Increase familiarity with missions, inspire new science
Some constraints: Data security, bandwidth for mentorship, $

Seemingly unrelated jobs today...

- Launch MSRR. Ever think abt how launch vehicle releases s/c w no angular momentum in any axis?
- Organizing papers about mission for pre-launch
- Awaiting NASA HQ's budget deliberations (they've got the really hard work now)

Q: What is asteroid (16) Psyche?

12,000-word A: "Observations, meteorites, and models: A pre-flight assessment of the composition and formation of (16) Psyche," accepted today @jgrplanets !

Short A: We don't know! (Oooo the mystery! Let's go find out!)

@NASAPsyche, #PI_Daily

Hall-effect thrusters!

A Tiny Bunny! It’s Tiny Bunny season again! (Right outside the door from my desk at home; super fun during long day of
⁦@NASAPsyche⁩ #festivePDRseason prep). Happy Wednesday all!

So wish us luck and think of us all next week, starting at 8:00 AM Pacific on Monday March 11!

Hello space world...

We've had a bit of a quiet time in the @NASAPsyche mission blog. But it's not because we're fading away...it's because we've been screaming along making progress! So here's a little thread...

Ready for the coolest little Psyches ever? Brilliant "metal planets" from artist Josh Simpson (@Simpson_Glass). The foil is platinum, because its thermal expansivity best matches the glass, preventing cracking at the interface. @NASAPsyche #spaceart #metalworld Thx @Astro_Cady!

Here are more views of Rachel Addington's amazing iron filing @NASAPsyche - Inspired clock; a magnet makes the dimple that shows the time.
