Sonda Psyche da NASA está pronta para sobrevoo próximo a Marte

A sonda Psyche da NASA está programada para passar a cerca de 4.500 quilômetros de Marte em 15 de maio, para obter um impulso gravitacional em direção ao asteroide de destino. A manobra aumentará a velocidade da sonda e permitirá testes de seus instrumentos científicos.

O sobrevoo ocorrerá a aproximadamente 19.848 km/h à medida que a sonda se aproxima pelo lado noturno do planeta. Marte aparecerá como uma fina crescente durante o encontro, proporcionando oportunidades para a calibração do gerador de imagens multiespectrais e outras ferramentas antes da chegada ao asteroide Psyche em 2029.
