First stop, Mars. Next stop, Psyche 📍 On May 15, our Psyche spacecraft swung by Mars on its way to its next destination: a metal-rich asteroid also named Psyche. The Red Planet gave the spacecraft a 1,000-mph speed boost and provided some stunning photos as well!

The initial reports are in: #MissionToPsyche aced its Mars flyby. ☑️ With the Red Planet in the rearview mirror, the spacecraft will soon resume using its solar-electric propulsion system to make a beeline to the main asteroid belt and rendezvous with the asteroid Psyche.

Hello Mars, goodbye Mars 👋 NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft was speeding by the Red Planet on May 15 when it snapped this rare, crescent view of Mars. The successful flyby flung the Psyche spacecraft toward its final destination: the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. 1/2

@NASAJPL Thanks for the boost, @NASAMars! Next stop: the asteroid Psyche. There's still a long way to go – the #MissionToPsyche spacecraft will enter orbit there in 2029. Exactly what we will find remains to be seen... Follow along at science.nasa.gov/mission/psyche and watch this space

This "gravity assist" flyby will use the Red Planet's pull to boost the spacecraft's speed and refine its trajectory on its way to explore the mysterious, metal-rich asteroid Psyche. Details: go.nasa.gov/4tsCLPQ Current distance from Mars: 14,450 miles Speed: 10,710 mph

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche – on its way to explore a rare, metal-rich asteroid – is about to get a speed boost from Mars. 🚀🏁 On May 15, spacecraft will harness the Red Planet’s gravitational pull as a slingshot to increase its speed and adjust its trajectory. 1/2

NASA's @MissionToPsyche is approaching Mars for a gravity assist. It's also a chance to get images of the Red Planet. "...if...we can do important testing and calibration of the science instruments, that would be the icing on the cake," said Psyche PI and SSL Director @ltelkins.

This is not an eclipse, but an even more rare sight: a crescent Mars as seen by NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft. The unprocessed image — taken by Psyche today — shows the night side of Mars as the spacecraft approaches the Red Planet for a flyby on May 15. The glowing crescent is sunlight reflected from the day side of the planet's surface, as well as sunlight passing through its atmosphere. The irregularities in the crescent are likely caused by surface features, and dust and clouds in the atmosphere.  1/2
