On Tuesday, the space agency announced that engineers were investigating a sudden drop in fuel pressure in the Psyche spacecraft's electric propulsion system, which caused the thrusters to automatically shut off. While the mission team could send the command to fire the engines back up, it's chosen to defer thrusting while engineers try to troubleshoot the pressure decrease, NASA said. "The mission design supports a pause in thrusting until at least mid-June before the spacecraft would see an […]
