Ground-based radar systems could play a major role in planetary defense, spotting asteroids on a cataclysmic collision course with Earth by bouncing radio waves off them to get position and velocity measurements.

NASA slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid on September 26, 2023, and its impact demonstrated NASA's capability to redirect the trajectory of an asteroid.

Rather than creating a crater, the collision caused the asteroid to reshape itself, thanks to its rubble-like ground.

When NASA's asteroid-diverting DART mission slammed into the tiny moonlet Dimorphos, it didn't just shift its orbit — it also almost completely changed its shape, new research suggests.

The tiny asteroid was left deformed after the spacecraft slammed into it at a high rate of speed.
