On May 27, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the launch of psyche mission to explore metal asteroids was delayed for 7 weeks due to the software failure of the spacecraft found in the pre flight preparation process

nasa said that the software problem of the psyche probe would delay the mission launch until at least September 20, about seven weeks later than the expected August 1

it is reported that the ground team found a problem during spacecraft software testing. After the psyk probe arrived at the payload processing facility of the Kennedy Space Center, the ground team has carefully inspected the spacecraft in the past few weeks to ensure that it can successfully complete the space journey. Engineers need to turn on the spacecraft's computers to perform extensive diagnostic tests, and conduct external analysis of the flight control software of the PSK probe before it is finally loaded into the rocket

nasa spokesman said: "the problem is that it is impossible to confirm whether the software controlling the spacecraft can operate as planned." Although it did not specify the specific problem or the solution, the NASA spokesman added that the team was "working hard to identify and correct the problem"

according to Lindy Elkins tanton, a planetary scientist at Arizona State University and chief researcher of the psyk mission, in response to the confirmation of the launch time window on twitter, "it has not been made public, and we are working hard." She stressed that the delay would not affect the date when the spacecraft arrived at the asteroid

after the launch, the psychic probe will pass through Mars in 9 months as planned, continue to accelerate, and reach the target asteroid named psychic in 2026. This will be NASA's first exploration mission to a metal asteroid

recently, the psychic probe has passed a test at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, and received health examination under vacuum, electrical, magnetic and radiation conditions

Randy Lindemann, JPL Engineer in charge of the power test of the psyk probe, said in a statement issued by the agency in April this year: "the test shows that the spacecraft can fly."

nasa confirmed two asteroid exploration missions, psyche and Lucy, in january2017. The Lucy probe was launched in October, 2021, with the goal of visiting Jupiter's Trojan asteroid

the psyk mission was initially planned to launch in 2023 and reach an asteroid of the same name in 2030. However, NASA later chose to advance the launch date by one year and chose the Falcon heavy rocket of SpaceX to complete the launch mission The psyk mission will study metal asteroids for at least 21 months to explore the possible role of more rare metal asteroids in the formation of planets. Engineers will also evaluate the laser communication capability of the psychic detector, aiming to increase the communication bandwidth of the detector in addition to the traditional radio communication.
