☆ Hera mission will launch to explore asteroid system intentionally hit by NASA DART spacecraft
  + stars: | 2024-10-07 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
CNN —A European spacecraft and two shoebox-size satellites are about to launch to survey the aftermath from NASA’s DART mission, which intentionally slammed into an asteroid named Dimorphos and altered its orbit two years ago. The European Space Agency’s Hera mission is expected to lift off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 10:52 a.m. The spacecraft and its two CubeSat companions are slated to arrive at the asteroid Dimorphos, and the larger asteroid it orbits named Didymos, in late 2026. NASA planned the DART, or Double Asteroid Redirection Test, mission to carry out a full-scale assessment of asteroid deflection technology on behalf of planetary defense. But many questions remain, including whether the DART spacecraft merely left behind a crater or if its momentum completely reshaped Dimorphos.

☆ NASA simulated an incoming asteroid impact, and the biggest roadblock to action was penny pinchers in Congress

The tabletop simulation presented a hypothetical scenario in which cities like Dallas, Washington, DC, and Madrid were at risk of a large asteroid impact. "A large asteroid impact is potentially the only natural disaster humanity has the technology to predict years in advance and take action to prevent," Lindley Johnson, a NASA planetary defense officer emeritus, said in a press release. That's because they didn't think Congress would approve funding for a critical space mission to study the asteroid "unless impact became certain," NASA's summary said. Options for preventing an asteroid impact include shooting the asteroid with lasers, launching a nuclear bomb at it, or simply smacking a space probe into it to nudge it away from Earth. Participants weren't sure Congress would fund the mission unless the asteroid was a certain threat — not a 72% chance of threat.

☆ Primul exercițiu de apărare planetară. NASA și ESA își unesc forțele pentru a încerca să devieze un asteroid

NASA și ESA își unesc forțele pentru a încerca să devieze un asteroidDintre toate dezastrele naturale care pot lovi Pământul, ciocnirea cu un asteroid are cel mai mare potențial să distrugă viața pe planetă, așa cum o știm. Agenția spațială americană, NASA, și cea europeană, ESA, își unesc forțele pentru a încerca să devieze cursul unui asteroid, astfel încât omenirea să fie pregătită dacă în viitor va exista riscul unei astfel de catastrofe, relatează Euronews. Două noi misiuni lansate de NASA și Agenția Spațială Europeană (ESA) vor testa o metodă de deviere a asteroizilor care s-ar îndrepta spre Pământ. Misiunea DART a NASA (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) va fi lansată după 24 noiembrie anul acesta. Și deci acesta este scopul misiunilor spațiale, de a măsura cât de departe putem muta un asteroid”, a spus el.
