“The Psyche issues are not unique to Psyche. They are indicative of broader institutional issues,” Young said at an online town hall meeting held by NASA to present the report’s findings.

JPL, he said, has an “unprecedented workload” of projects and the board found the lab’s resources were stretched thin, particularly in key technical expertise. “There is a large imbalance today between the workload and the available resources at JPL,” he said. “This imbalance was clearly a root cause of the Psyche issues and, in our judgement, adversely affects all flight project activity at JPL.”
