NASA Asteroid-Smashing DART Mission Snaps First Look at Its Target
The moonlet Dimorphos is strolling through space with its larger asteroid companion Didymos, minding its own business, blissfully unaware of what's coming. Meanwhile, NASA's DART spacecraft is eying Dimorphos like a crouched cat preparing to pounce. CNET reported.
DART is a planetary defense test mission designed to impact the moonlet to alter its trajectory around Didymos. If proven effective, this spacecraft design could potentially be scaled up to deflect an Earth-bound asteroid. (Didymos and Dimorphos pose no threat to Earth — they are a test site for the kinetic impact technology.) Space.com reported.
This image (below) of the light from asteroid Didymos and its orbiting moonlet Dimorphos is a composite of 243 images taken by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) aboard DART on July 27, 2022. Sci-Tech Daily reported.
