#LAtimes 📆 Sept. 4, 2022 "Two #asteroids in the belt between #Mars and #Jupiter 🪐 have more #iron, #nickel and #cobalt than exists on #Earth. Ultimately these products could be not only #mined ⛏️ but also #processed in #space, reducing #pollution of both the #air and #water on #Earth" https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-09-04/commercialization-space-earth

"Both #NEAs have surfaces with 85% #metal such as iron and nickel and 15% silicate material, which is basically #rock" https://news.arizona.edu/story/mini-psyches-give-insights-mysterious-metal-rich-near-earth-asteroids

#Psyche ☄️: New data on density, #radar properties, and #spectral signatures indicate that #Psyche is likely made of a mixture of rock and metal, with #metal ⛏️💰 comprising between 30-60% 📊 of its volume https://psyche.asu.edu/mission/faq

#NASA Jul 18, 2023 Psyche is set to launch atop a #SpaceX #FalconHeavy (the first #interplanetary 🪐 launch for that #rocket 🚀) from #SpaceLaunchComplex 39A at Kennedy #SpaceCenter at 10:38 a.m. EDT (7:38 a.m. PDT) on 📆 Oct. 5 https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/nasa-s-psyche-mission-enters-home-stretch-before-launch

The current known #asteroid ☄️count is: 1,299,396 📈 https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/asteroids-comets-and-meteors/asteroids/overview/

📆 2023 #Brokkr-2 will go on a mission to scout #DeepSpace and visit one of #AstroForge’s target #asteroids ☄️, which has not yet been made public.
What’s changed in the past decade is an emerging economy of companies offering #launch, #orbital and other #InSpace services. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2023/01/24/commercial-asteroid-mining-now-has-a-2023-launch-date-to-scout-its-first-target

🇯🇵 #JAXA 📆 June 7, 2023 #Hayabusa2 #Ryugu ☄️mission summary 🔬 : #minerals were found to have formed about 5 million years after the start of the #SolarSystem 🌌 (now 4.56 billion years old). https://cosmos.isas.jaxa.jp/the-sample-from-asteroid-ryugu-summary-early-2023/
The #NASA #osirisrex mission is scheduled to bring a sample from asteroid #Bennu back to #Earth 🌏 this September.

#NEOs ☄️ and Policy (page 309, conclusion) : The first two chapters outlined the gradual realization that #Earth 🌍 and the #Moon 🌙 are inundated with impacting bodies and there exists a population of these bodies that orbit the #Sun ☀️ near the orbit of Earth. With the development of more and more sophisticated detectors 🔭, the known population of these near-Earth objects grew dramatically—all but erasing the reluctance of many to acknowledge the #impact risk 💥 that these objects present.

The #Psyche #spacecraft travels using #SolarElectric (low-thrust) #propulsion. Solar ☀️ electric propulsion uses electricity from solar arrays to create electromagnetic fields to accelerate and expel charged atoms ⚛️ (#ions) of #xenon to create a very low thrust with a very efficient use of #propellant ⛽. This will be the first use of a #HallEffectThruster beyond lunar orbit.
