MAXR - Maxar delivers solar chassis for NASA's Psyche mission

Maxar Technologies (MAXR) has delivered the Solar Electric Propulsion Chassis to NASA and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory for use in NASA's Psyche Mission. That mission is set to launch in August 2022 to explore an asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter - likely made largely of metal, and which may be core material from an early planet. The chassis is based on Maxar's 1300-class platform, its smallest and lighted graphite platform. Roughly the size of a small car, it's combined with a medium-sized solar array, a high-gain antenna and the company's latest solar electric propulsion system. Maxar is also leveraging both the 1300-class platform and the SEP technology for the NASA Gateway Power and Propulsion Element under the Artemis Program.
