PROJECT DESCRIPTION

To prepare for arrival at Psyche, scientists seek an easily accessible database of the major, minor, and trace element composition of meteorites. Current data is buried in a variety of scientific publications. This project will build on a system developed by previous teams.

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.
