ASA has revealed the schedule for a rocket launch that will visit an asteroid that is valued at 70,000 times the global economy.
The US space agency will launch a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket holding sensitive scientific equipment in October 2023 from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
NASA’s website says that the rocket will travel for around three and a half years before it gets to the Psyche asteroid, which the programme is named after.
It will then spend 21 months observing the massive asteroid, which NASA hopes will allow it to understand more about its structure and history.
