CTOnews.com, October 1 (Xinhua)-- NASA announced the launch of the NASA Psyche probe at 22: 16: 22 p.m. Beijing time on October 12. SpaceX's Falcon heavy rocket will take charge of the launch mission.

It is worth mentioning that the launch was originally scheduled for October 5 at 10:34 at launch site 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in NASA, Florida, but has been postponed to October 12.

According to public data, the Orbital probe (Psyche) is used in the United States to detect the metal-rich star (16 Phyche). It was approved on January 4, 2017 and is expected to eventually arrive in 2029 to begin a 26-month scientific mission.

The ▲ orbiter's journey into space will last nearly six years, about 3.6 billion kilometers, and then reach a star that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists believe that the spirit star may be part of the core of the star son and may be made of iron and nickel metal.

The minerals are not intended to be mined, but will be studied in space to give researchers a better understanding of the components of the earth's core.

It takes about five Earth years to complete its orbit around the sun, and its closest distance to Earth is about three times the distance between Earth and Mars. "this asteroid is only for scientific exploration, not for profit," said the lead researcher. "

The CTOnews.com query found that the Orbital probe is designed to answer the following questions:

1. Is the spirit star the metal core left after the stripping of the differentiated celestial bodies, or is it a directly formed iron-rich star?

two。 If the Spirit Star is a metal core with its shell peeled off, how and when did this happen?

3. If the star has melted, is it solidified from the inside out or from the outside to the inside?

4. Does Ling Shenxing generate magnetic power when it cools?

5. What is the main alloy contained in the metal core?

6. What are the main characteristics of the geology and global topography of Lingshen? Does the spirit star look completely different from ice and stone stars?

7. What is the difference between impact craters on the surfaces of metal celestial bodies and those on the surfaces of ice and stone stars?
