DART will crash into Dimorphos later this month.
NASA's $330 million DART spacecraft has caught its first look at its target asteroid, Didymos, the double-asteroid system that is hurtling toward our planet. The mission's aim is to determine whether or not a spacecraft can be used to alter an asteroid's trajectory for planetary Defense.
Using its DRACO camera, DART has imaged the asteroid Didymos and its moonlet Dimorphos.
Nasa is ready to crash its Dart mission into an asteroid to test a technology to deflect future asteroids headed towards Earth.
NASA has photographed the target asteroid it will collide into very soon in a demonstration of its DRACO camera that's onboard the doomed spacecraft.
