NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, is the world’s first full-scale planetary defense test, demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection technology. True to its name, DART is a focused mission to prove whether a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to a target asteroid, intentionally collide with it and protect Earth from a potential asteroid impact. The mission target, which poses no threat to Earth, is the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos (Greek for “two forms”), which orbits a larger asteroid named Didymos (Greek for “twin”). Join SETI Institute Senior Astronomer Franck Marchis and Beth Johnson for a special SETI Talks with scientists involved in the mission or planetary defense at large. We will follow the spacecraft as it approaches its target, learn about the navigation system from JPL and APL engineers and scientists, see how astronomers around the world will watch the impact using other facilities and discuss why it matters. Finally, we will collaborate with Unistellar citizen astronomers live from Reunion Island to watch the impact and see if any aftermath is detected. Our guests will include: Dr. Larry Denneau, ATLAS Co-PI and Senior Software Engineer at the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawai'i Dr. Julie Bellerose, DART Navigation Team Chief at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Dr. Amanda Sickafoose, Planetary Science Institute Dr. Nicolas Erasmus, Planetary Science Institute Dr. Michael Busch, SETI Institute research scientist Dr. Andrew Chen, chief scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Dr. Jian-Yang Li, Planetary Science Institute Dr. Ryan Lambert, SETI Institute Patrice Huet, Unistellar Network Dr. Joe Masiero, Caltech/IPAC Schedule: 2:30-2:40pm PDT Welcome and introduction 2:40-3:00pm PDT Larry Denneau – Introduction to near-Earth asteroids and ATLAS Julie Bellerose - DART navigation, sequence of events 3:00pm-3:20pm PDT Alex Meyer (Colorado University) - post-impact dynamics – what can we expect.

Countdown to impact as NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) attempts humanity’s first-ever test of planetary defense! The DART spacecraft will intentionally crash into asteroid Dimorphos at 7:14 p.m. ET on Monday, September 26, 2022 to see if kinetic force can change its orbit. Why? If this test is successful, the same technique could be used to deflect an Earth-threatening asteroid in the future, should one ever be discovered. The #DARTMission's target asteroid is NOT a threat to Earth before, during or after the impact event.

For NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the DART spacecraft impacted asteroid Dimorphos, from the binary asteroid system Didymos, on 26 September 2022, at 23:14 UTC (19:14 EDT). The binary asteroid system Didymos is NOT a threat to Earth, making it a perfect testing ground to see if intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is an effective way to change its course.

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has one single instrument onboard – the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical Navigation, aka the DRACO camera. DRACO serves as the spacecraft’s eye and will guide DART to its final destination: impact with asteroid Dimorphos. The stream you’re watching is a real-time feed from the DART spacecraft enabled through the DRACO camera sending one image per second to Earth. For the DART impact broadcast with commentary, watch: https://youtu.be/4RA8Tfa6Sck In the hours before impact, the screen will appear mostly black, with a single point of light. That point is the binary asteroid system Didymos which is made up of a larger asteroid named Didymos and a smaller asteroid that orbits around it called Dimorphos. As the 7:14 p.m. EDT (23:14 UTC) impact of asteroid Dimorphos nears closer, the point of light will get bigger and eventually detailed asteroids will be visible. At 7:14 p.m., the DART spacecraft is slated to intentionally crash into asteroid Dimorphos. This stream will be delayed due to the time it takes the images to arrive at Earth, plus additional time for feeding the images to various platforms. For the most up-to-date DRACO camera feed, please tune into the NASA DART Impact Broadcast here: https://youtu.be/4RA8Tfa6Sck After impact, the feed will turn black – due to a loss of signal. After about 2 minutes, this stream will turn into a replay – showing the final moments leading up to impact. That replay file will also become available on NASA websites and social media accounts. DART is a spacecraft designed to impact an asteroid as a test of technology. DART’s target asteroid is NOT a threat to Earth. This asteroid system is a perfect testing ground to see if intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is an effective way to change its course, should an Earth-threatening asteroid be discovered in the future.

On Sept. 26, 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will intentionally crash into a small asteroid, Dimorphos, in a first-ever test of planetary defense, should we ever need it. The #DARTMission's target asteroid is NOT a threat to Earth before, during or after the impact event.

Why are we crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice learn about the NASA DART mission and testing Earth’s defense against asteroids with NASA’s first Planetary Defense Officer, Lindley Johnson. How do we stop what happened to the dinosaurs from happening to us? We learn about near-Earth asteroids, their moonlets, and the DART mission’s plan to change an asteroid’s orbit. Discover the asteroid Didymos and it’s moonlet Dimorphos. What is going to happen when the spacecraft makes impact? How do we use physics and orbital ballistics to get the DART spacecraft to the asteroid? Are we prepared for an asteroid headed towards us? Tune in on September 26th at 7:00 pm ET to see the DART spacecraft complete it’s mission at nasa.gov.

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is underway after a successful liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. DART is the first mission to test technologies for preventing a hazardous asteroid from impacting our planet. Also, the rocket that will launch the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite T (GOES-T) is now in Florida. GOES-T is targeted to launch from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 41 on March 1, 2022. NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy Space Center, is managing the launches of DART and GOES-T.

A NASA spacecraft is on a mission to test technology that could defend Earth in the future. The spacecraft will deliberately crash into an asteroid to see if it can change its path.

Can we change the motion of an asteroid? Our #DARTMission is set to be the first to try! The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is a spacecraft designed to impact an asteroid as a test of technology to see if it can change the motion of an asteroid in space. The goal of the mission is to see if intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is an effective way to change its course, should an Earth-threatening asteroid be discovered in the future. DART’s target is the binary near-Earth asteroid Didymos and its moonlet, which pose no threat to Earth. This mission is targeted to launch at 1:21 a.m. EST, Nov. 24 (06:21 UTC), aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Learn more about the mission at: www.nasa.gov/dart
