Hitting the asteroid was just part of the challenge. Now, NASA confirms the September impact of the DART spacecraft has successfully changed the orbit of Dimorphos.

WASHINGTON, United States- NASA on Tuesday celebrated exceeding expectations during a mission to deflect a distant asteroid, in a sci-fi like test of humanity's ability to stop an incoming cosmic object from devastating life on Earth. 000_32L83ZQThis handout picture obtained by the Italian Space Ag

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft that deliberately crashed into an asteroid managed to change the orbit of the space rock, NASA said on Tuesday, announcing the results of the test. "Analysis of data obtained over the past two weeks by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) investigation team shows the spacecraft's kinetic impact with its target asteroid, Dimorphos, successfully altered the asteroid’s orbit," said the premier space agency i...

NASA confirms DART mission changed asteroids motion in space-

Last month, NASA purposely crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid in an attempt to knock it off course, and the results are now in, with scientists confirming the orbit of Dimorphos around its parent asteroid was shortened by 32 minutes.

This marks humanitys first time purposely changing the motion of a celestial object and the first full-scale demonstration of asteroid deflection technology.Afte

After 10 months of flying in space, NASAs Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) -- the worlds first planetary defence technology demonstration -- successfully impacted its asteroid target called Dimorphos last month, the agencys first attempt to move an asteroid in space.
