  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

  8. The #NEO population is roughly 100,000 at the size of about 60 m, and if we go all the way down to a few meters in size, the population of #NEAs ☄️ is over a billion.

    #DART smashed into the 160 m, 5.5-million-ton #asteroid #Dimorphos. If you wanted to deflect an asteroid 10 times larger, you’d need 1,000 DARTs to get the same minuscule deflection.

    In April 2029, an #asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier 🚢 will be passing much closer than the Moon. astronomy.com/science/how-we-t

  13. #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.

  18. DART-missie deed meer dan alleen een asteroïde een duwtje geven
    Met deze nieuwe bevindingen zijn onderzoekers dichter dan ooit bij de validatie van een belangrijke techniek voor planetaire verdediging.
