NASA Launches Spacecraft to Test Asteroid Defense Concept
NASA is preparing to launch a mission to deliberately smash a spacecraft into an asteroid—a test run should humanity ever need to stop a giant space rock from wiping out life on Earth.
Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) set to launch Wednesday; will let scientists see if it's possible to 'nudge' an incoming asteroid from a path that could threaten the planet
By Ashley Strickland, CNN A NASA spacecraft that will deliberately crash into an asteroid is preparing to launch this week. The DART mission, or the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, will lift off at 10:20 p.m. PT (1:20 a.m.
DART mission will test NASA's ability to alter asteroid's trajectory with kinetic force - crashing robot spacecraft into it at high speed and nudging space boulder just enough to keep our planet out of harm's way
