Summary
The team focused on designing a prototype rover to explore the surface of the asteroid Psyche, located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This mission is significant because Psyche, believed to consist largely of metal, may provide valuable insights into the building blocks of planets. The rover’s design aims to facilitate detailed exploration of this unique celestial body, advancing the understanding of planetary formation.
