ESA's Hera Probe to Inspect DART's Asteroid Impact
Original: ESA's Hera Will View Asteroid Scars from DART's Strike
The European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft is en route to the asteroid Dimorphos, where it will examine the crater left by NASA's DART mission, which deliberately crashed into the moonlet in 2022 to test planetary defense. Hera will survey the impact site and measure how the collision altered the asteroid's orbit and structure.
Why now: Interest in planetary defense as Hera approaches Dimorphos to assess the aftermath of humanity's first asteroid-deflection test.
