PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In preparation for arrival at the Psyche asteroid, teams are working to create a Virtual Reality experience on another planetary body, using stereo pairs and color (if available) from the team’s choice of existing datasets. The purpose is to showcase the actual data and what is already known about other non-Earth bodies and prepare for the datasets that will be returned from Psyche.

This work was created in partial fulfillment of Arizona State University Capstone Courses “SER 401”. The work is a result of the Psyche Student Collaborations component of NASA’s Psyche Mission (https://psyche.asu.edu). “Psyche: A Journey to a Metal World” [Contract number NNM16AA09C] is part of the NASA Discovery Program mission to solar system targets.
