OREANDA-NEWS The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and SpaceX postponed the launch of the automatic interplanetary station (AMS) Psyche to the asteroid 16 Psyche on October 13.
"NASA and SpaceX cancel the launch of the Psyche mission scheduled for October 12 due to adverse weather conditions," the report says.
According to NASA's plans, the Psyche station should reach the asteroid in July 2029. The AMS, equipped with a neutron and gamma-ray spectrometer, as well as a magnetometer, will study the celestial body for two years. Experts have suggested that the asteroid consists mainly of metal.
At the end of September, it became known that the launch of Psyche was postponed for a week due to the need to update the configuration of the station's engines.
In July, ArsTechnica reported that NASA canceled the Janus mission for the Psyche station. More than $50 million was spent on the mission, which includes Serenity and Mayhem devices.
