A SpaceX spacecraft was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on October 13.
The Psyche mission is expected to reach the asteroid of the same name in 2029.
The mission was planned to launch a year ago, but the launch was delayed due to delays in testing the flight software.
Psyche is the largest of the nine metal-rich asteroids. Along with millions of other space objects, it orbits the Sun in the outer part of the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Radar and other observations show that Psyche is approximately 232 kilometers wide and 280 kilometers long, and that the asteroid contains iron, nickel and other metals.
Studying Psyche may help answer fundamental questions about the origin of life on Earth.
As reported, the launch of the Psyche mission was planned for October 5, but it was decided to postpone it to October 12.
However, on October 12, the launch of the mission was postponed again due to adverse weather conditions.
