Medicine & TechnologyNASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is off to an exciting mission: to crash into an asteroid to change its course. The team has a launch window in February 2022 after a delay in November.
NASA is hoping to launch the DART mission as soon as possible. As a result, the space agency will hold a news conference on the probe's departure later this month.
DART member, Professor Alan Fitzsimmons will explain at the upcoming World Asteroid Day, an online event, the details of an international experimental asteroid deflection.
