NASA’s Psyche mission is almost ready for its moment in the Sun

[{ "selector": ".kqfxk-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 416px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Twin solar arrays have been attached to the spacecraft body, unfolded lengthwise, and then restowed

[{ "selector": ".pcwxw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 402px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

At 800 square feet, the five-panel, cross-shaped solar arrays are the largest ever installed at JPL

[{ "selector": ".naoop-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 360px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

After a 3 ½-year solar-powered cruise, the craft will arrive in 2026 at the asteroid Psyche,

[{ "selector": ".jeedk-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 394px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The spacecraft will spend nearly two years making increasingly close orbits of the asteroid to study it

[{ "selector": ".crmpx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 381px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The underlying technology isn’t much different from solar panels installed on a home

[{ "selector": ".ukgwd-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 394px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

instruments relay to scientists will help them better understand the mysterious asteroid.

[{ "selector": ".ruzjl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 387px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]
