One of the space highlights of 2022 will be the administration's "DART" or DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA It was sent to the twin asteroid systems Didymos and Dimorphos
, which DART aims to collide with Dimorphos.
to divert the trajectory of this asteroid
Dart is like a Hollywood blockbuster.
But the DART crash with Dimorphos isn't doomsday, and no one has to die on a space shuttle bound for a crashing comet like in the movies.
It was only the unmanned dart that died.
What scientists want from the DART mission is
The results and all the information that has been collected in every aspect.
every angle from this operation
This will be further used to design new spacecraft that will be used to deflect other asteroids or comets that are likely to collide with our planet in the future.
By the way, to be honest
The Dedimos and Dimorphos star systems are not at risk of colliding with our planet.
They are only testing grounds, and looking back on them seems to reflect that.
We are ready to destroy everything around us in order to survive.
After the spaceship DART works as intended.
Which paves the way for another mission to pick up the stick, the European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to show off some of its skills with the spacecraft Hera (Hera) will travel to the land of Didimos and Dymo. rfos
to take a close look at the crater marked by the Dart
The ESA side team stated that
Worked very hard this past year.
to assemble the Hera ship to be complete and powerful
Hera will be equipped with a navigation system.
and autonomous control similar to working with autonomous vehicles.
The device is the size of a table.
It will carry equipment including an optical asteroid framing camera, complemented by thermal and spectral imaging cameras.
Includes laser altimeter for surface mapping
It will also send CubeSats, shoebox-sized satellites, to nearby Dimorphos.
As for the release of the Hera ship
ESA already knocked October 2024.
