NASA is scheduled to launch a spacecraft destined for Psyche, a 140-mile-wide asteroid beyond Mars, in 2022. Scientists believe Psyche is made up of mostly iron and nickel – similar to the Earth's core. The Psyche spacecraft will send back data on the composition following its 2026 arrival to the asteroid.
