This asteroid is worth 10,000 quadrillion dollars, more than the entire global

Engineers and technicians at Cape Canaveral are preparing the Psyche spacecraft for an asteroid approach scheduled for October 5.

The mission aims to study a space rock that could be worth more than the entire global economy.

The spacecraft will travel to the unique metal-rich asteroid that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter about 310,410,000 miles from Earth.

The rock, called 16 Psyche, potentially has a core of iron, nickel and gold worth $10,000 quadrillion.

Currently, the entire global economy is estimated to be approximately $110 trillion.

In a statement, NASA said: With less than 100 days until the spacecraft's launch, teams of engineers and technicians are working almost around the clock to ensure the orbiter is ready to travel 2.5 billion miles to an asteroid rich in metal, which can tell more about planetary cores and how planets form.

The mission team recently completed a comprehensive test campaign of the flight software and installed it on the spacecraft, clearing the hurdle that prevented Psyche from launching on its original 2022 launch date.

"The team and I are now counting the days to launch," said Henry Stone, Psyche project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

“The team is conducting multiple training activities to ensure we are prepared and ready. It's a very busy time, but everyone is very excited and can't wait to get going."

NASA says the asteroid, which measures about 173 miles across at its widest point, presents a unique opportunity to explore a metal-rich body that may be part of the core of a planetesimal, the building block of a planet. early.

Once the spacecraft reaches the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, it will spend at least 26 months orbiting the rock, gathering images and other data that will tell scientists more about its history and from what does it consist of
