In what can be called the first case of humanity’s interference in the gravitational dance of the solar system, NASA is going to launch a mission to deliberately collide a spacecraft into an asteroid in order to alter its orbit.    The agency will carry out the mission on Wednesday. The aim of the mission is to test drive a planetary defence system, which can prevent from extinction.  

NASA plans to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid in the “world’s first planetary defense test mission” of its kind. Although the plan might sound like the basis of a science fiction disaster movie, it’s not.

NASA s DART mission is just a few hours away. At 1:20am ET, SpaceX is set to launch its Falcon 9 rocket to deliver a box-shaped space probe into space that will deliberately crash into an asteroid.

Southland residents could get an impressive pre- holiday aerial light show tonight when Hawthorne-based SpaceX attempts to launch a NASA planetary-defense mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc along the California central coast.

NASA will launch its very first planetary defense mission later this week, where it will crash a spacecraft into an asteroid.

The DART mission is NASA's demonstration of kinetic impactor technology, impacting an asteroid to adjust its speed and path.

NASAs box-shaped space probe will launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday, November 23 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Less than a year later it will hit its target.

There are tens of thousands of near-Earth asteroids, some even labeled potentially hazardous, yet scientists know of zero asteroids that pose a real threat to Earth.

The first operation to ever collide a spacecraft with an asteroid is set to launch Wednesday (Nov. 24) and will see whether humans can deflect a potentially disastrous cosmic impact.
