NASA's first flight mission for planetary defense, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) seeks to test and validate a method to protect Earth in case of an asteroid impact threat. The DART mission aims to shift an
asteroid's orbit through kinetic impact – specifically, by smashing a spacecraft into the smaller member of the
binary asteroid system Didymos. Please join us this month when Ray Harvey, DART Mission Operations Manager at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, briefs us on this first of its kind mission, including ground preparation and testing of the spacecraft, mission operations en route, and the approach and terminal phases prior to impact, currently scheduled for September 26th at 7:14 PM EDT.
