  Hera Spacecraft Embarks on Mission to Study Asteroid Redirected by NASA in 2022

  The Hera spacecraft has successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, embarking on an international mission to study the asteroid Dimorphos, which was altered in course by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in 2022. Expected to reach its target by December 2026, Hera will examine the impact crater left by the DART mission and deploy two ...

  NASA's DART Mission First Step Towards Preventing Possible Asteroid Armageddon, Indian Scientists Say

  NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission to deflect the asteroid Dimorphos could help the world prepare for a possible asteroid Armageddon similar to the one that caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. Dimorphos orbits a larger 780-metre asteroid called Didymos. Unlike the 10-kilometre diameter dinosaur-killing asteroid that hit Earth, b...

  NASA Aims to Redirect Asteroid in DART Mission's First Attempt at Planetary Defence

  NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will attempt to alter the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, on September 26. The US space agency is set to create history when it crashes a spacecraft into the asteroid, attempting to deflect it from its trajectory. A tiny moon of the asteroid Didymos, the asteroid Dimorphos is an ideal target for NA...
