Asteroid is a ‘very different body’ after being hit by NASA spacecraft, scientists say
New research suggests that when NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft deliberately collided with the asteroid Dimorphos in September 2022, the impact may have caused a “global deformation” of the space rock.
The primary objective of the DART mission was to conduct a full-scale test of asteroid deflection technology for planetary defense.
The mission aimed to determine if a kinetic impact, involving crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid at 13,645 miles per hour (6.1 kilometers per second), could alter the motion of a celestial object in space.
Dimorphos, a moonlet asteroid orbiting a larger parent asteroid called Didymos, and neither pose a threat to Earth, CNN reported.
