After Hera speeds past Mars, it's onward to Didymos and its now -misshapen companion Dimorphos (thanks to the collision), ...
The asteroid, named Dimorphos, was hit by NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in September 2022 as part of an experiment to investigate how the asteroid's path would be deflected.
Over the years the DART has been used to test a series of potential aviation breakthroughs. NASA looked at new kinds of materials meant to reduce engine noise and make airliners quieter.
A small jet engine compact enough to fit on a tabletop is helping to make the future of aviation more sustainable.
NASA chalked up a major accomplishment with DART—the Double Asteroid Redirection Test. In 2022, the DART spacecraft successfully plunged into a space rock dubbed Dimorphos. The test showed that ...
DART smashed into the asteroid of choice, called Dimorphos, which was a minor-planet moon of the asteroid called Didymos. Dimorphos posed zero threat to Earth during the experiment, with it being ...

She was the Coordination Lead on NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. Chabot is a planetary scientist who is such a big deal that she got an asteroid named after her.
This unusual view of the horizon of Mars was captured by NASA’s Odyssey orbiter using its THEMIS camera, in an operation that took engineers three months to plan. It’s taken from about 250 ...
We're just hours away from North America's last total solar eclipse until 2044, and as we prepare to look to the sky, NASA is preparing to launch three rockets. Stargazers from Mexico to the US ...
