Summary
| Description | Meet Julie Li, an engineer on NASA’s Psyche mission, which will be the first to explore a metal-rich asteroid, also named Psyche. In this video, Li, of Maxar Technologies, explains how her team developed the solar electric propulsion hardware on the spacecraft. She also talks about her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut and her passion for outdoor adventure. Whether the asteroid Psyche is the partial core of a planetesimal (a building block of the rocky planets in our solar system) or primordial material that never melted, scientists expect the mission to help answer fundamental questions about Earth’s own metal core and the formation of our solar system. This is the fourth episode in a weekly, five-part video series called “Behind the Spacecraft.” Each Psyche team member will tell the story of how they came to the mission. Join us on this channel on Sept. 13 for a live streamed Q&A with Li, and on Sept. 20 with JPL electrical engineer Luis Dominguez. Psyche’s launch period |
