Background

For the first time ever, we are exploring a world made not of rock or ice, but of metal. The asteroid Psyche offers a unique window into the building blocks of Earth’s formation and the opportunity to investigate a previously unexplored type of world.

Challenges

NASA’s mission websites and marketing have traditionally been dark and uninviting. But as a mission leader, Arizona State University was committed to making Psyche approachable and accessible.

Solutions

Fervor created a website with a white, bright aesthetic that broke down complex mission and spacecraft details into easily digestible chunks, with interactive animations that helped to unfold the Psyche story throughout.
