NASA probes propulsion problem in Psyche's thrusters
SMRTR summary
NASA's Psyche probe, heading to orbit an asteroid, is facing propulsion problems due to a xenon gas line pressure drop. Engineers are exploring solutions, including using a backup line, with a mid-June deadline before the spacecraft's path is impacted. Currently 148 million miles away, the probe is set to orbit asteroid Psyche in 2029. This issue follows earlier mission delays and may affect the probe's timely arrival at its destination.
