Project Description

The Psyche Capstone’s “Gravity Assist” team was one of six teams tasked with developing a mobile application for both iOS and Android platforms and built so that it could qualify for and be posted on the App Store and Google Play, if selected. It is the intent that the app be available for the general public worldwide, and that it encourage the user to explore the excitement and innovation of the mission and help them feel personally connected, instead of the app being purely informational.

This work was created in partial fulfillment of Arizona State University Capstone Courses “GRA 461-462,” “CSE 485-486,” and “IEE 485-486.” 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.
