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.

And the Deep Space Optical Comm demonstration has successfully completed its first phase, flying on @MissionToPsyche! https://t.co/uDOQRGpCVL

Our lovely @MissionToPsyche spacecraft has been in solar conjunction (the Sun has been between Earth and the spacecraft) for eleven days, and now has emerged and regained radio communication, and all is perfectly nominal, just as we would like. Good to be talking again, Psyche!

Happy happy first birthday in space, @MissionToPsyche! We launched lucky Friday October 13th, 2023. Go, Psyche! (Here's a part of the ~2,500 people, so far, who have worked to make this project a success.) pic.twitter.com/oExe57gTkz
