Spacecraft will collide with asteroid moving towards Earth, NASA will protect the world
The American space agency NASA is now constantly trying to grasp the asteroid. There are lineups from 'Psyche Mission' to 'Dart Mission' for this. A spacecraft which will rapidly impinge on and impact an asteroid is prepared for its launch. This is not an accident but the story of NASA's next mission. The name of this mission of NASA is DART i.e. Double Asteroid Redirection Test which incorporates SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. It'll be launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 10:20 pm civil time on November 23.
After launch, NASA will investigate its Asteroid Deflection Technology in September 2022. The US Space Agency will see how it affects the speed of an asteroid near Earth in space. The target of this mission is Dimorphos, a little moon orbiting the near-Earth asteroid Didymos. This will be the primary demonstration of such technology to shield the world.
Detecting the danger of objects near Earth is the priority for NASA and other space institutions of the planet. In September 2022, the asteroid and its moon are going to be very close to our Earth. At that point, their distance from Earth will be about 6,835,083 miles and there couldn't be a more robust time for testing the DART mission. NASA says that DART will deliberately run into Dimorphos and affect the motion of the asteroid in space.
This collision are recorded from LICIACube, the cube satellite of the Italian Space Agency. DART program scientist Tom Statler said that scientists are able to see changes within the speed of asteroid with the assistance of telescopes from Earth. Its calculation will help us understand how our deflection efforts affect the asteroid, he said. The US space agency NASA is preparing a spacecraft which will visit Asteroid 16 Psyche. This spacecraft is to be launched in August next year from Cape Canaveral in Florida with the assistance of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket.
