Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday, September 21 at 6:00pm Pacific Time (9:00pm Eastern) to hear Dr. Paul Abell share with us plans for the DART mission to demonstrate a technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space.


This presentation will provide some background on potentially hazardous asteroids, recent Earth impacts, and NASA’s activities to help protect Earth from asteroids. The presentation will describe NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission as well as share information on the European Space Agency’s (ESAs) Hera mission. DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space.
