ALT A graphic shows a collision between two rocky celestial bodies. The site of their collision bursts into a bright white explosive light with multiple chunks of rock flying toward the center of the image. On the right, the larger celestial body is a purplish-blue color with pockmarks and cracks rippling from the crash. On the left is the smaller celestial body in a bright yellowish color with gray rocks. Across the top in white spaced out letters is the word "Psyche" and below it in smaller white text is "Journey to a metal world."

ALT A graphic showing the orbital path of the Psyche spacecraft with the sun right in the center of several different colored circles. A grayish white semi-circle shows the surface lighting based on degrees ranging from 90% at the top and going down 10% until it reaches 60%. The percentages climb up again to 90% and go down to 60% a second time. On the inside is an orange circle around the Sun, showing the Psyche asteroid's path. A purple line shows the orbital path of the Psyche spacecraft, starting from Earth in October 2023 and then looping toward Mars for a gravity assist in May 2026 and then circling back around to meet the Psyche asteroid in August 2029. A red dotted line along the purple Psyche spacecraft path also shows the Deep Space Optical Communications experiment aboard the spacecraft. One more icon along the orange Psyche path shows the end of operations in November 2031.
