Patrick Michel updates #ACM2026 on the #HeraMission.

Quotes the surface ages for Didymos and Dimorphos as 12.5 million years and <300,000 years respectively.

That was before the #DARTMission impact.

Humans changed an asteroid - now we find out how!

Especially for Asteroid Day, watch the full story so far of our Hera mission, on its way thru deep space to probe the first Solar System body transformed by human action: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2026/06/Humans_changed_an_asteroid._Now_we_find_out_how

I am working on Greece time for a few days, to call in to the last #HeraMission workshop before the spacecraft arrives at Didymos and sees what the #DARTMission has done: https://www.heramission.space/workshop-2026 .

Thanks go the organizers.

Had fun giving a talk about Planetary Defense (in general) and #DARTMission (specifically) on the @[email protected] tonight! Thanks to the engaged and friendly SRO crowd! I ended up serving as @[email protected]'s warmup act. :)

Counterpoint: Never too much #DARTMission news. 🛰️🔭🧪

NASA’s DART Mission Did More Than Just Nudge an Asteroid, Study Says

In September 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft rammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos at nearly 15,000 miles per hour…

Big day for #DARTMission alums, as here’s some more work released today! Remember how we said that yes, we were technically also changing Didymos’s orbit around the Sun, but by a small, unmeasurable amount? So, it _was_ a very small amount but Rahil Makadia et al showed it was _not_ unmeasurable.

While we wait for the Hera mission to get out to Didymos & Dimorphos and show exactly what the #DARTMission impact did, there is new science on what was happening in the binary before then.

While I am tempted to say this looks like a promo pic from an ultra-low-budget foreign-language dramatization of the #DARTMission and these are the off-brand versions of Nancy and me with an also off-brand scale model of the spacecraft, I am aware of no such tributes.

With Bon Jovi references I had not expected (it has been customary to reference Queen instead when talking about the DART and Hera missions).
