The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs). [4] [5] It was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through its transfer of momentum when hitting the asteroid head-on. [6]
NASA's DART mission was a success. Images taken by satellite show plumes from the asteroid impact, but it could take weeks to monitor for changes in the asteroid’s trajectory.
DART, or Demonstration for Autonomous Rendezvous Technology, was a NASA spacecraft with the goal to develop and demonstrate an automated navigation and rendezvous capability. At the time of the DART mission, only the Roscosmos and JAXA had autonomous spacecraft navigation.
NASA’s DART mission was officially declared a success after scientists shared their findings at a news conference Tuesday. Scientists said the spacecraft impact changed the asteroid's orbit by ...

Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a joint project between NASA and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, is the first planetary defense mission of NASA. [15] In November 2021, the DART spacecraft was launched with the goal of seeing if it could "alter an asteroid 's path, a technique that may be used to defend the planet in the ...

The DART mission activated Dimorphos under precisely known and carefully observed impact conditions, enabling the detailed study of the formation of an active asteroid for the first time. [ 48 ] [ 50 ] Observations show that Dimorphos lost approximately 1 million kilograms after the collision. [ 51 ]
