When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's ...

The Hera spacecraft successfully launched toward the asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos on Oct. 7, meant to follow up on NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. After waking up its ...

The European Space Agency’s Hera spacecraft rocketed away on a two-year journey to the small, harmless asteroid. It's the second part of a planetary defense test. IE 11 is not supported.

Hera’s mission will focus on the asteroid Dimorphos, where a golf cart-sized spacecraft crashed on Sept. 26, 2022. That mission, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), shortened ...

The Hera spacecraft launched Oct. 7 to study a binary asteroid system up close. By 2026, it should arrive at the crash site of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirect Mission, or DART.. The NASA ...

SpaceX will launch Europe's Hera spacecraft on Monday (Oct. 7) toward the asteroid Dimorphos for a post-impact evaluation, and you can watch the liftoff live.

The European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft rocketed away on a two-year journey to the small, harmless asteroid rammed by NASA two years ago in a dress rehearsal for the day a killer space rock ...

As Hera transmits data back to Earth over a high-gain antenna, the mission’s scientists will also use small shifts in signal frequencies caused by Dimorphos’s gravity to determine the asteroid ...

According to NASA, Hera is brining along two Asteroid Framing Cameras (AFCs), the Hyperscout-H spectral imager, a Thermal InfraRed Imager (TIRI), and the two CubeSats (known as Juvenitas and Milani).

Two European cubesats have communicated that they are a-ok as they hurtle toward a binary asteroid system to check out the damage inflicted by NASA's DART impactor in 2022. First, though, European ...

Space Hera mission set to revisit asteroid after NASA's redirection test. The European Space Agency is sending a probe to get a closer look at the asteroid Dimorphos, which had its orbit altered ...

Hera may also end its mission with a precarious touchdown, but on the larger Didymos. Neither asteroid poses any threat to Earth — before or after Dart showed up.
