As the vehicle crosses off items on its critical path checklist to launch,"teams of engineers and technicians are working almost around the clock," according to a NASA

from July 18. Cables and plugs used during spacecraft testing will be removed as operators"close out" the vehicle and install flight-ready exterior panels and thermal wrapping.

"Our focus has shifted to safely completing the final mechanical closeout of the spacecraft and preparing the team for operations," said Henry Stone, Psyche's project manager at NASA's

in Southern California."The team is conducting numerous training activities to ensure that we are prepared and ready. It's a very busy time, but everyone is very excited and looking forward to the launch."
