Project Description

NASA and the Psyche Mission seek a way to gain and retain public interest in the Psyche mission. The Psyche capstone “Launch” team designed and built an app to aid in this challenge. The app was required to be functional on both iOS and Android platforms. The app must be educational but also interactive, showcasing the innovation and excitement of the mission. The app was designed to make the audience feel connected to the Psyche mission and help create buzz leading up to the launch in 2022.

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.
