About the work:
Psyche Interactive is a browser-based, landscape-first experience that documents NASA’s Psyche mission from launch to arrival at its target asteroid. Built in TypeScript with React for the 2D interface and Three.js/WebGL for 3D visualizations, it’s designed to give users both an educational and immersive journey through one of space exploration’s most ambitious missions.
The experience begins on Earth, centered on the launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Users are introduced to the Falcon 9 rocket carrying Psyche, with sequential cards displaying real launch footage as the vehicle ascends into orbit. These cards visually trace the rocket’s trajectory, giving a sense of scale and motion while guiding the user through the early stages of the mission. Read more…
