L’Europe s’empare de la défense planétaire

#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.

We await the #HeraMission arriving at #Didymos and #Dimorphos to see exactly what the #DARTMission did.

Any useful deflection of a larger #asteroid ☄️ would require a far greater shove or need to occur decades ahead of an impending collision 💥 to have a cumulative effect. You’d need 1,000 #DARTs to get the same deflection https://www.astronomy.com/science/how-we-track-near-earth-asteroids/

The HERA craft is on it's way to investigate the aftermath of NASA's DART asteroid impact mission the other year, using the gravity of Mars to help it along it's way.
It's getting busy out there! 😀

Ziemlich coole Bildersequenz, die von der Esa-Raumsonde Hera zwischen dem 10. und 15.10. aufgenommen wurde. In den Infrarotbildern sind Erde und Mond zu sehen. Beim Mond kann man sehen, wie er in der Zeitspanne vom Halbmond zum Vollmond wird: 🌓 ➡️ 🌕

Hera ist Anfang Oktober gestartet und auf dem Weg zu den Doppelasteroiden Didymos und Dimorphos.

Update on the #HeraMission from Patrick Michel for @setiinstitute :

https://youtube.com/live/LKcup8C5zUo

The spacecraft's instruments have been checked out and it has gone through the first trajectory correction maneuver to set up for the #Mars flyby early next year; where it will do some #Deimos science in passing.

2 years to #Didymos and #Dimorphos .

Welcome to our Live Coverage of the Launch of ESA’s Hera Mission to asteroid Dimorphos to investigate the impact from NASA’s Dart mission. Our live coverage will started today at 16:30 CEST on our website & here #HeraMission #ESA #ESA_Hera #Darmstadt #Dimorphos #Dart #NASA #Space #science

Two years ago, a probe known as #DART hit the bull's-eye for a collision with a mini-asteroid known as #Dimorphos, changing its trajectory in the process. Now a follow-up probe called #Hera has been launched to do a "crash scene investigation" and see what can be learned about diverting any asteroids that might threaten Earth in the future. https://cosmiclog.com/2024/10/07/hera-probe-heads-off-to-investigate-asteroid-smash-up/ #ESA #Asteroid #Space

The #HeraMission will measure the heliocentric orbit change to #Didymos due to the #DARTMission kinetic impact onto #Dimorphos .

Now I am wondering if this technically counts as gravity tractor deflection of the larger asteroid using the smaller one.

The #HeraMission did a pre-launch poll on what the spacecraft will find when it gets to #Didymos and #Dimorphos .

A few people responded "no Dimorphos" after the #DARTMission impact.

But Dimorphos was right there afterwards: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05805-2 .

I assume those were errant clicks on the form.
