POT announced the date when he will hold darts mission, the purpose of which is to change the course of a hypothetical dangerous asteroid approaching the Earth by colliding with it by a spacecraft. The space agency also announced that it will be broadcasting the entire operation live, which will be vital to test the planetary defense technology it has been developing for some time.

In a statement published on the official website, POT confirmed that darts mission can be tuned through its main digital channels. The transmissions will include not only the final operation, that is, the impact of the ship on asteroid Dimorphos- but they will also include information rounds in which the agency will explain the entire operation process.

NASA to test its space defense technology

Oh sure Dimorphosan asteroid with which POT destroy your ship dartdoes not pose any danger to the integrity of the person in LandWhat the agency is looking for is to see if one of these vehicles can be used to change the trajectory of a potentially planet-threatening celestial body with its impact before it can cause damage.

POT notes that if everything goes according to plan, darts mission “will demonstrate that a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to and collide with a target asteroid in order to change the asteroid’s motion in a way that can be measured with ground-based telescopes.”.

In addition, the agency adds that this operation will provide “Important data that will help you better prepare for an asteroid that could pose a danger to the Earth. Landin case it ever comes to light.”.

How to watch the NASA DART mission live?

If you are interested in becoming a spectator darts mission belonging POTyou will be able to see the operation update through the main agency accounts in Twitter Facebook as well as Instagram. The schedule for this mission is as follows:

  • Monday, September 12: agency will explain details about darts mission as a technology implemented in a spacecraft that allows autonomous navigation on the wings of its impact on a target, an asteroid Dimorphos.
  • Thursday, September 22: in POT will hold a press briefing at its headquarters to familiarize itself with the final events dart before the asteroid impact Dimorphos.
