La sonde Psyche de la NASA en route pour un survol rapproché de Mars

Rapporté par l'IA

La sonde Psyche de la NASA doit passer à 4 500 kilomètres de Mars le 15 mai afin de bénéficier d'une assistance gravitationnelle vers son astéroïde cible. Cette manœuvre augmentera la vitesse de la sonde tout en permettant de tester ses instruments scientifiques.

Le survol s'effectuera à une vitesse d'environ 19 848 km/h alors que la sonde approche par la face nocturne de la planète. Mars apparaîtra sous la forme d'un fin croissant lors de cette rencontre, offrant ainsi des opportunités pour calibrer l'imageur multispectral et d'autres outils avant l'arrivée sur l'astéroïde Psyche en 2029.
