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), ...
The shape of the asteroid Dimorphos was changed when NASA's DART spacecraft deliberately crashed into it in 2022 as part of a test of humanity's planetary defense capabilities. DART, the Double ...
NASA chalked up a major accomplishment with DART—the Double Asteroid Redirection Test. In 2022, the DART spacecraft successfully plunged into a space rock dubbed Dimorphos. The test showed that ...
NASA's proved in 2022 that humans could redirect 'city killer' asteroids away from Earth - but with unintended consequences that could put our planet in danger. A pair of Italian astronomers found ...
In September of 2022, NASA’s DART mission smashed into the astroid Dimorphos at 14,000 miles per hour to test the effects of asteroid deflection. Although the mission was a success, scientists ...
A NASA experiment that sent a spacecraft slamming into the side of an asteroid may have sent debris flying into space, possibly into the path of Mars. The asteroid, named Dimorphos, was hit by ...
The successful DART mission likely made Dimorphos' shape more 'askew' and eccentric. By Laura Baisas | Published Mar 20, 2024 10:00 AM EDT The asteroid Dimorphos was captured by NASA’s DART ...
Dozens of boulders dislodged by NASA's asteroid-smashing DART test could hit Mars in the future, new research suggests. NASA's asteroid-deflection mission may have sent dozens of boulders on a ...
NASA's experimental laser communication system, riding along with the Psyche spacecraft, has transmitted Psyche data from ...
The journey into space is a long one, which gives many spacecraft time for a side quest or two during their missions. In the case of the European Space Agency's Hera mission, the side quest is a ...
