    NASA’s Psyche probe is about to slingshot around Mars at 12,000 mph

    NASA's Psyche spacecraft will perform a close flyby of Mars at 12,000 mph to get a gravitational boost on its journey to the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. The maneuver will save propellant and allow scientists to test the spacecraft's instruments using Mars as a target. This encounter will provide opportunities for capturing striking crescent views of Mars and gathering magnetic and cosmic ray data.
