A spacecraft has launched on a mission to test technology that could one day tip a dangerous asteroid off course.

The DART mission is intended to test the feasibility of one day deflecting a threatening asteroid.

The DART probe's impact with the asteroid should take place in the last quarter of 2022.

DART probe, the size of a car, will slam into the Dimorphos ‘moonlet’ at more than 24,000kph in 2022.
