So if it's all gone well, Psyche (the spacecraft) is now climbing out of Mars's gravity well, and has increased in speed, and adjusted it's plane to be on an intercept Psyche (the asteroid).
Looking forward to seeing a report on how well it's gone.
Here is the trajectory of the Psyche spacecraft over its 8 year mission to asteroid Psyche.
Launch: Oct 13, 2023
May 2026: Flyby and gravity assist by Mars
May 2029: Arrival at Psyche
July 2029: Orbit around Psyche
Nov 2031: End of mission
