Doubtful that there's much to find right now…still in the 'what if?' stage, really.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I don't think there's much else published yet. They will be submitting a proposal in 2015 for selection as a Discovery mission. Appears to be very little out there, but given the timeline, that could make sense.

QUOTE (Jaro_in_Montreal @ Jan 18 2014, 07:52 PM)  Where might one find additional info on this proposed mission, please ? AFAIK, this is just a concept for a mission. NASA doesn't usually fly missions that aren't formally proposed to a program like Discovery, so unless an AO is released and this mission is selected, this is just an idea. http://www.lcpm10.caltech.edu/pdf/session-...-10%20FINAL.pdf -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.

Psyche was also one of the targets of the proposed INSIDER ESA mission. for background science see also the "white paper" here http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/do...fobjectid=52029

Any attempt to make a global map will have to deal with that 90 degree axial til, either arriving during the right seasons or else a mission a lot more than six months (all still academic for a few years to come, of course).
