Hera Aces A Massive Engine Burn On Its Way To Didymos In September 2022, humanity crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid - on purpose. The objective of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was to see if we could intentionally modify the orbit of Dimorphos, the small moonlet orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos. According to all accounts, the mission worked spectacularly, but it was a one-way trip, so our ability to see what happened to the binary asteroid system has so far been limited to ground-based telescopes. That wasn’t good enough for the planetary defense community, so they planned a follow up mission called Hera, which, according to a recent press release from its operator, the European Space Agency (ESA), just successfully completed its most dramatic deep-space orbital maneuver.

Do you remember when #DART struck an asteroid? On September 26, 2022, planetary defense experts aimed the DART spacecraft at #Dimorphos, a little moon of the asteroid #Didymos. It changed the moonlet’s orbit, but also changed the orbit of the asteroid it didn't strike. 🛰️🪨

The study also has implications for the origin of #Didymos #Dimorphos (the target of #NASA #DART and #ESA #Hera missions), as our results suggest that multiple low-velocity mergers could be a common pathway for forming small asteroid satellites.

You feel the edge first.
Then the weight.
Then nothing else.

Didymos doesn’t ask.
It defines.

This is not softness.
This is silence in steel.

Hera mission approach to Mars and Deimos

THIS IS SO EXCITING! The #HeraMission will use Mars gravity to be launched towards the #Didymos system. Ian Carnelli informed that in that maneuver will pass just 300 km from Deimos, just allowing unprecedent hyperspectral imagery of the #Mars satellite.
Here we go #Mars, and #Deimos! 🛰️🤩

#DART’s planned 22,000 kilometre-per-hour collision with asteroid #Dimorphos made even more of a bull’s-eye shot than expected. 💥🪨 The impact shortened the asteroid’s orbit around #Didymos by 32 minutes! #PlanetaryDefence

Der Zusammenstoß der #DART-Sonde mit #Dimorphos wird in ca. 11.000.000 km Entfernung stattfinden. Forscher schätzen, dass sich die Umlaufzeit des Asteroiden um seinen Zwilling #Didymos um einige Minuten verändert. 🔄 Das DLR ist an der Analyse der Aufprall-Folgen beteiligt. 🔎🪨

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.🛡️🌍

@DLR_de will be involved in analysing the impact. Researchers believe it will create a crater several tens of metres in diameter 🪨🤕 and that the time taken for #Dimorphos to orbit around #Didymos will change by a few minutes. ⏲️
