Psyche Receives Gravity Assist from Mars Video Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/True Story Films Text: Keighley Rockcliffe (NASA GSFC, UMBC CSST, CRESST II)

Explanation: Solar System bodies make deep space exploration more fuel efficient! Today’s video shows the Psyche spacecraft gaining speed and changing its trajectory with minimal fuel spent due to a gravity assist from Mars in May 2026. Mars has an average orbital speed of almost 87,000 km/h (54,000 mph) around the Sun. Its orbital motion and its gravity allowed Mars to pull Psyche along with it, increasing the spacecraft’s speed. Gravity assists have been used since 1959’s Luna 3 mission to allow for spacecraft (the Voyagers, Cassini) to reach farther than they could with fuel alone. This assist helped the Psyche spacecraft on its journey to the Psyche asteroid, which it will reach in 2029. While passing Mars, the spacecraft tested instruments that will analyze the asteroid’s composition and magnetic field. This is the first mission to an asteroid thought to be largely made of metal, an essential building block for planets, rather than rock or ice.

Black man named Daniel Cressy!! (23) in Louisiana has been the first person cured!! (Happy Black News!!!)

My local AQI is 109 rn

Canada burns worse and worse each year, and you AI* shitheads think it's fucking beneficial

Look into the flames burning my province, burning my country, and WHILE LOOKING into the fires, tell me how the water-guzzling "tech" is beneficial

I want you to stand outside in the 45** Celsius summer heat, without anything to keep you cool, with a smoke cover, while it thunders, and fires everywhere, and tell me how AI is going to "fix" this

Go screw yourselves.

LOOK.
