Watch NASA DART Mission on its collision course with asteroid Dimporphos
After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully hit its asteroid target on Monday.
NASA slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid target in a first-ever attempt to move an asteroid in space, a demonstration of planetary defence exercise.
DART's target is the binary, near-Earth asteroid system Didymos, composed of the roughly 780-metre diameter "Didymos" and the smaller, approximately 160-metre size "Dimorphos", which orbits Didymos.
