Psyche is a NASA Discovery-class mission to map the surface and characterise the composition of '16 Psyche', an elongated 280-km diameter metal-rich asteroid located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

I missed it when it was close enough to see the modulation. It's now at 1.41Mkm and, if it isn't switched to a HGA, it will disappear for me at about 15Mkm.
