NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impacted the 'moonlet' Dimorphos in the Didymos asteroid system. Watch the ...
After Hera speeds past Mars, it's onward to Didymos and its now -misshapen companion Dimorphos (thanks to the collision), ...
During the DART mission, NASA used an uncrewed spacecraft to slam into Dimorphos at 14,000 miles per hour to see if it was possible to push a space rock off its orbit. READ MORE: NASA's DART ...
The DART mission was designed to test how slamming a spacecraft into the side of an asteroid would impact how it travels through space, and therefore if doing so could successfully deflect a space ...
In 2022, the DART spacecraft successfully plunged into a space rock dubbed Dimorphos. The test showed that it is possible to redirect an asteroid, potentially saving Earth from a future cataclysm ...
the space agency smashed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos to alter its trajectory. This 14,000-mph kinetic impact was part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission ...
The Hera mission will study the Dimorphos asteroid that was pushed off course by NASA’s DART spacecraft in 2022 ...
In September, 2022, NASA deliberately flew the 1,200-pound DART spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos. The mission successfully demonstrated the ability to change the course of an asteroid ...
The Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Policy Committee last week awarded DART $3.6 million from the Carbon Reduction Program administered by the Federal Highway Administration. The one-time ...
NASA’s experimental laser communication system, riding along with the Psyche spacecraft, has hit another milestone. The system was recently used to transmit Psyche data from over 140 million ...
