Congratulations to Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton and the entire NASA-Space X mission to Psyche!
The rocket launched from Kennedy Space Center on Friday, Oct. 13, to visit Psyche, a mysterious object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Psyche appears to be metal-dense and may be the 150-mile wide core of a shattered planet orbiting our sun. Principal Investigator Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton was last spring's University Speaker.
The spacecraft, equipped with high-tech cameras and mapping systems to determine Psyche's composition, will slingshot around Mars in May 2026 and reach the asteroid in July 2029.

Thank you to participants and presenters at this spring's Research Programs and Fellowships Ice Cream Social! Directors from research programs across NMSU talked about opportunities to gain experience in research and creative activity across fields. Dr. Orzoff of the Fellowships Office answered questions about fellowships that support these activities here and abroad. Many of the STEM programs offer financial support to do research in the form of stipends and travel costs; for these students, research is a paying job. All programs offer mentorship, professional development, and life-changing experiences working in your field. Get answers to your questions and practical tips for preparing and applying for these oppportunities at next year's social. Meet with Dr. M-T for updates in the mean time. |
