ESA Hera Mission: Measuring The Impact Of NASA’s DART On Dimorphos
The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced its upcoming Hera mission, which aims to follow up on the success of NASA’s DART mission. On September 26, 2022, the NASA DART team changed the orbit of an asteroid named Dimorphos using DART spacecraft through a kinetic impact, marking a significant milestone in asteroid deflection technology. NASA confirmed that the mission impact changed the asteroid’s motion in space, and the debris blasted from the surface of Dimorphos was observed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope on October 8, 2022. ESA Hera mission aims to measure the impact of the?DART mission ?on Dimorphos, enabling scientists to better understand how to protect Earth from potentially harmful asteroids. Additionally, it will help advocate for more planetary defense missions in the future.
