The delay in the launch of the Psyche spacecraft to visit the asteroid Psyche is having ripple effects on another NASA mission. The $50 million Janus mission with its two probes was supposed to accompany Psyche on the mission to observe two binary asteroid. However, too much time has passed for this separate mission be be accomplished due to the binary asteroids now being too distant from the main mission. Hence, the Janus probes will have to sit this one out. ARSTechnica has a full story on this development.
The good news is that the Psyche spacecraft should be launched this October. So not all is lost.
This will be a tough budget year under this Congress, so NASA will be lucky if it can keep most of its missions on track.
