Project Description

The team worked to create a mobile app to engage the user in exploring the excitement and innovation of the Psyche mission with:

  • Multimedia gallery
  • Social media location where everything Psyche related is held
  • A countdown clock
  • An interesting way to present mission facts (these are the facts about the tools used and such)
  • Timeline for the course of the mission

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