💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🚀💻 The #ESA’s #Hera mission successfully rebooted its #spacecraft 140 million km from #Earth after uploading new flight #software.
Engineers at #OHB in #Bremen spent 18 months testing the upgrade on a replica before sending commands to the real spacecraft. Hera is now bound for #Dimorphos, the #asteroid whose orbit was altered by #NASA’s #DART mission.

#Asteroid defense mission shifted the orbit of more than its target
The immediate result was that #Dimorphos’ orbital period around #Didymos, its larger parent body, was slashed by 33 minutes.
Altering moonlet’s orbit doesn’t seem like enough to safeguard Earth from civilization-ending impacts. Observational data has come in, it seems we accomplished more than that. #DART actually changed the trajectory of entire Didymos binary system, altering its orbit around the Sun.
