sorae – The asteroid “Psyche” that NASA plans to explore may not have as much metal content as expected
This is the “An imaginary drawing of the asteroid 16 Psyche“is.
*The mission name is the same as the asteroid.Psyche”, however, sorae uses the Latin pronunciation of the asteroid’s name as “Psyche,” and the English pronunciation of the mission and probe as “Psyche.”
Psyche is an asteroid located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and has an average diameter of 226 km. The asteroid Ryugu, from which the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) asteroid explorer Hayabusa2 collected samples, is said to have a diameter of about 900 m, so even though it is the same asteroid, Psyche is about 250 times larger than Ryugu. There will be a difference.
The asteroid that NASA plans to explore is worth approximately $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 (quadrillion dollars).rare metalIt is estimated that it contains. Even if you say 1000 trillion times 10,000 dollars, or “1 million dollars x 1 million dollars x 1 million dollars x 10,” it’s too big to make sense, but for example, the world’s total GDP (gross domestic product) is 80 to 90. It’s a trillion dollars, so even if it were 100 trillion dollars, it would be 100,000 times that amount.

The asteroid NASA plans to explore may contain rare metals worth as much as $10,000,000,000,000,000,000. …
On the other hand, research results have also been published suggesting that astronomical objects similar to “rubble pile objects” such as Ryugu and Bennu may contain slightly less metal than previously expected. I am.
The asteroid “Psyche” that NASA plans to explore may not have as much metal content as expected

A research group led by David Cantillo at the University of Arizona has discovered that the asteroid 16 Psyche, which is thought to be made mostly of metal, contains more metals than previously expected.

In addition, NASA plans to launch the asteroid exploration mission “SAIKI” on October 12, 2023. If plans go as planned, Psyche’s true form should be revealed in 2029, six years after launch.
