On 26 September, Nasa’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test successfully slammed into an asteroid in the name of planetary defence. Here’s why Nasa is hurling spacecraft at space rocks.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has successfully collided with its target asteroid millions of miles away, and here are its final images.
It's a hit. After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) successfully "impacted" its target asteroid, Dimorphos.
The aim of the mission was to demonstrate that dangerous incoming rocks can be deflected by deliberately smashing into them.
The mission is part of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART. The agency called it “the world’s first mission to test technology for defending Earth” against asteroids or other space dangers.
