The goddess Psyche floats translucent and nude in space. Her body is split horizontally to reveal the asteroid Psyche in her core, which she cradles. Behind her are the satellite Psyche and the planet Earth. All subjects are framed within the bullseye-styled orbit pattern the satellite will use during the mission. Colors are vibrant and glowing, and diagonal dashes streak the background.

Orbit is an interpretation of the Psyche spacecraft arriving at and orbiting the asteroid.The computer-generated sounds are representative of the spacecraft and the guitar is representative of the asteroid. Both the guitar and the electronic sounds pan between left and right to give the impression of movement. The guitar, which represents the metallic nature of the asteroid, has a vibrato-type effect applied to it and slight detuning to indicate the irregularities on the surface of (16) Psyche. The electronic noises include distorted speech and more electronic sounding beeps, which indicate the communication that will occur between Earth and the spacecraft. The song follows the path of the Psyche spacecraft. Initially, the asteroid is not present, and the song ends with the spacecraft going offline.

The black void of space is quickly filled with a time-lapse of a virtual asteroid being digitally drawn. A small satellite with a curious look on his face glows a neon purple and looks at the asteroid from afar. The dark space is full of stars, and the sun can be seen in the far off distance, casting a lens flare over the view. The camera flies by the asteroid and satellite before it fades to darkness.

This piece utilizes four shades of a color from the original brown masonite. Psyche is depicted in the lightest shade of brown, and the background (outer space) is the darkest shade of brown. These dark brown areas of the engraved piece are cut a layer deeper into the masonite compared to the other lighter shades of brown. Psyche is seen exploding in the lower right-hand corner, fragmenting into chunks and shards.
