Starting January 1, 2020…
a new series of daily mission activity Tweets from Psyche Principal Investigator (PI) Lindy Elkins-Tanton.

#PI_Daily

The goal? To share an inside look at the chores, challenges, tasks, assignments, duties, and more taken on by a NASA mission PI!

Follow along on @MissionToPsyche or below.

In the interest of authenticity, I'll share that most of my time on @MissionToPsyche now is working on the Phase E budget & schedule, trying to pull back money & time. It's really important: If we can do with less, then there is more for others. But it is not glamorous. #PI_Daily

175 people online now for the @MissionToPsyche all-team mtg. We are hard at work toward an October, 2023 launch!

Here's a gorgeous cross-section of the ablated leading edge of an iron meteorite from The Ohio State University museum, which I visited last week. #PI_Daily pic.twitter.com/j5Dl1lztGn

What a launch! I got to sit on console to prepare for @MissionToPsyche's Falcon Heavy launch in 11 months. We ran outside to watch the side boosters land, less than a mile away, and wow, what a sonic boom! AWESOME! #PI_Daily https://t.co/D7WG7oMnMg
