See Raw Images From the Psyche Spacecraft

On Dec. 4, 2023, the Psyche team turned on the spacecraft's twin cameras and retrieved the mission's first images – a milestone called “first light.” Since then, Psyche has snapped hundreds of images as it cruises toward its destination, asteroid Psyche. These images are called "raw images" because they haven't been processed by imaging software. Click on the "Raw Images Viewer" link to see what Psyche sees.
