Michael
Shepard,
professor of environmental, geographical and geological sciences, was
interviewed by Frank Timmes for the AAS (American Astronomical Society) Journal
Author Series on his latest paper on asteroid 16 Psyche, the target of an
upcoming NASA mission also named Psyche. Shepard's three-dimensional shape
model is being used by the mission team as they plan for the arrival and
initial maneuvering and orbital sequences.
