DART: Earth’s First Test Against Asteroids

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was NASA’s groundbreaking mission to test planetary defense by altering an asteroid’s path. Launched in 2021 and impacting Dimorphos in 2022, DART successfully changed the moonlet’s orbit, proving we can deflect asteroids instead of destroying them. This $330 million mission, a collaboration with international space agencies, showcased innovative technologies, including solar-powered ion propulsion and high-resolution imaging. Future missions like ESA’s Hera will analyze the long-term effects, refining our ability to protect Earth from potential threats. DART’s success marks a new era in planetary defense, turning science fiction into reality.
