Cosmic Radio Interview with Lindy Elkins-Tanton and The Psyche Mission

Cosmic Radio host Elizabeth Garcia interviews Principal Investigator of NASA's Psyche Mission, Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton. Join us as we talk about an incredible space journey to a unique metal-rich asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Dr. Elkins-Tanton tells us all about the Psyche asteroid, why she believes that it may be the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet and how she is going to test her hypothesis with this amazing solar-electric spacecraft.
Psyche offers a unique window into the violent history of collisions and accretion that created terrestrial planets!
