NASA's MEGANE, developed for the MMX mission to study Mars' moons, has been delivered to JAXA for integration, representing a milestone in space collaboration and scientific exploration. On March 14, NASA delivered its gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer instrument to JAXA (Japan Aerospace Explora

On its way to the Trojan swarms, the spacecraft made a pit stop at a rock named Dinkinesh — and the images it sent back revealed that this asteroid has its own moon.

This fall, NASA is all about asteroids. OSIRIS-REx's brought samples from Bennu; Psyche will visit a space rock; and the Lucy spacecraft will fly by an asteroid.

This fall, NASA marks milestones in three different missions that explore unanswered questions about the process that made Earth, the stuff that makes the solar system and how we might save ourselves should a much larger space rock come hurtling our way.

The DART spacecraft completed its 10-month journey to demonstrate a technique that could defend the planet from deadly space rocks in the future.

The crash of DART would have created a deep crater and sent a shower of debris flying into space. Read more at Boston.com.

It’s innovation in the name of planetary defense: NASA’s DART mission aims to test the idea of colliding with an asteroid to deflect it from Earth.

NASA’s DART mission to deflect an asteroid is a little like Armageddon — but with key differences

The DART spacecraft launched this morning on its mission to the binary asteroid Didymos, where it will collide with the space rock for science.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is set to begin its 10-month journey to nudge a space rock out of its orbit. Here's what we know about the mission.
