A team prepares NASA's Psyche spacecraft for launch inside the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Dec. Psyche will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. After a one-year delay to complete critical testing, the Psyche project is targeting an October 2023 launch. NASA's Psyche spacecraft is shown in a clean room on Dec. 8, 2022, at Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft was powered on and connected to ground support equipment, enabling engineers and technicians to prepare it for launch in 2023. Teams working at Astrotech and at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California continue to communicate with the spacecraft and monitor the health of its systems.
