This is the first attempt ever made to change an asteroids trajectory.

Dr Stefania Soldini explains how the DART spacecraft was created to test our ability to defend the Earth from a dangerous asteroid.

NASA is about to crash a small spacecraft into an asteroid millions of miles away from Earth, and its test may one day save Earth from doom.

On Monday, about eleven million kilometres from Earth, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will make the first attempt to divert an...

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test is preparing to crash into the asteroid Dimorphous in an attempt to change its orbit

When the DART spacecraft impacts the asteroid Dimorphos on Sept. 26 in a test of our planetary defenses, it will be a continuation of work that started decades ago.

Using a cadre of advanced technologies, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission is closing in on executing the world’s first-ever attempt at demonstrating whether a spacecraft can slam into an asteroid with enough force to prevent it from destructively colliding with the Earth given adequate warning.

Scientists are working on a way to prevent this from happening by playing a sort of interplanetary game of pool. The idea is to use the kinetic energy of a spacecraft to deflect potential earthbound asteroids.
