📣 This just in: Data shows @nasa’s #DARTMission 🎯 successfully altered the orbit of #Dimorphos! This is the first time humanity has changed the orbit of a celestial body and the first full-scale demonstration of #AsteroidDeflection technology. 👏...

Germany is also involved in @esa's #HeraMission. Hera, much of which will be built in 🇩🇪, will launch in 2024 on a journey to the #Didymos system.

Hera's up-close study of the impact aftermath will improve our understanding of #AsteroidDeflection as a way to protect Earth.🛡️🌍
