The new space mission of the NASA has a goal, it’s called ‘Psyche 16’ and is a very metal-rich asteroid. So much so that its value reaches 10 trillion dollars. The ‘Psyche 16’ is located between the orbit of Mars and that of Jupiter.
The NASA mission begins next October: it would arrive first at Mars in 2026 and then at the asteroid in 2029. Before the launch it has to gather all the necessary information from space and from the asteroid, and that is where the telescopes of the Teide. Specifically, with the TTT (Two-meter Twin Telescope) project. The TTT consists of four robotic telescopes, installed at the Teide observatory, in Tenerife. They are private and with a technological development of a high scientific level. The company settled on the island taking advantage of the important tax incentives offered by the Government of the Canary Islands.
Tax incentives in the Canary Islands
The Canary Archipelago has the call Reserve for Investments in the Canary Islands (RIC), an instrument that allows companies to save up to 90% in taxes. And that is the attraction for many companies that settle in the Canary Islands with scientific, technological and even cinematographic projects of high international projection.
In the Canary Islands there is a special Canarian zone, called ZEC. It is a low tax area created within the framework of the Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF) of the islands, with the aim of promoting the economic and social development of the Archipelago and diversifying its productive structure. The ZEC was authorized by the European Commission (EC) in January 2000.
The collaboration between NASA and the Canarian telescopes will not only facilitate scientific progress in learning about this type of mineral-rich asteroid necessary for Earth, but also Your study can provide us with important scientific information about the formation of our solar system.
