Team problems found last year seem to have been resolved
There are, however, some areas JPL still needs to work on to prepare for launch, including verification and validation of integrated systems and mission operations. Leaders need to establish flight rules, procedures, and train personnel to meet requirements for flight readiness.
Nicola Fox, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said in a statement:"I am pleased with the independent review board's resoundingly positive assessment of JPL's hard work in correcting the issues outlined in the board's original report." "We know the work is not over. As we move forward, we will work with JPL to ensure these implemented changes continue to be prioritized to position Psyche and the other missions in JPL's portfolio for success. We convened this board weeks after I stepped in as director and addressing the issues it raised has been a central focus in my first year as director of JPL.
The launch delay means that Psyche is not expected to reach its target asteroid, 16 Psyche, until August 2029 instead of 2026. 16 Psyche is a unique rock measuring 220 kilometers in diameter, and is described as the largest metal planetismal body in the solar system. Scientists are debating whether the asteroid could be a leftover metallic core of a failed rocky planet, and believe it could reveal secrets to how planets like Earth formed.
