NASA's Psyche spacecraft has just flown closer to Mars than the planet's own moons en route to the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche. It was a planned maneuver so that the spacecraft can get gravity assist from the red planet and conserve fuel,

NASA's Psyche spacecraft will use Mars' gravity today (May 15) for a crucial boost on its six-year journey to a metallic asteroid.

NASA's asteroid-bound spacecraft Psyche is headed for an encounter with Mars on Friday (May 15) to get a boost from the Red Planet.

NASA's Psyche spacecraft, launched in 2023 from Cape Canaveral, will use Mars' gravity for a boost on its six-year journey to a metallic asteroid.

The spacecraft will use Mars's gravity for a speed boost on its way to a rare metal asteroid. Psyche is expected to reach its destination by the end of 2029.

A NASA spacecraft chasing a rare metal asteroid swings past Mars this week for a gravity boost, snapping thousands of pictures as practice for the main encounter in 2029. Named Psyche like the asteroid it’s after,

The crucial manoeuvre scheduled for Friday will use the gravity of Mars to shift Psyche onto the right path, a faster and cheaper method NASA scientists say could help unlock clues about the birth of

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft will fly past Mars on May 15, 2026, using the planet’s gravity to accelerate toward asteroid Psyche.
