The DART mission was rather successful according to five papers published by NASA.

The collision of the DART spacecraft has caused millions of pounds of asteroid rocks to free-float in space and be studied.

A new image shows that an asteroid that was deliberately struck by Nasa's Dart probe has left a trail of debris stretching thousands of kilometers.

A NASA spacecraft successfully crashed into an asteroid approximately 7 million miles from Earth in a test to determine if the impact can nudge the space rock slightly off course.

The $313 million mission, called DART, answered a very important question. Can NASA stop an asteroid headed for Earth? It appears so.

The Dart probe slams into the Dimorphos asteroid to see how easy it is to push a space rock off course.

A NASA spacecraft rammed an asteroid at blistering speed Monday in an unprecedented dress rehearsal for the day a killer rock menaces Earth. The galactic grand slam occurred at a harmless asteroid 7 million miles away, with the spacecraft named Dart plowing into the small space rock at 14,000 mph.
