ESA's Hera Probe to Inspect Asteroid Hit by DART
Original: ESA's Hera Will View Asteroid Scars from DART's Strike
The European Space Agency's Hera mission is set to rendezvous with the asteroid Dimorphos, where NASA's DART spacecraft deliberately crashed in 2022 to test planetary defense. Hera will survey the impact crater and measure how the collision altered the asteroid's orbit and structure, providing the first close-up assessment of humanity's first asteroid deflection experiment.
Why now: Interest in planetary defense is high as Hera approaches the DART impact site to reveal the results of the first asteroid deflection test.
