The DART mission by NASA, known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, successfully showcased how to deflect an asteroid by impacting it kinetically. In September 2022, a cost-effective spacecraft changed the trajectory of asteroid Didymos and its moonlet Dimorphos. Now, the European Space Agency is gearing up for the Hera mission, aiming to study the effects of DART's impact. The Hera spacecraft is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on October 7 and is expected to reach its destination in October 2026. Hera, comparable in size to a small car and weighing around 1,081 kilograms, will investigate the aftermath of DART's impact on Dimorphos and Didymos. Collaboration between ground-based telescopes worldwide has confirmed the successful deflection of Dimorphos' trajectory by DART, noting a decrease in Dimorphos' orbital period around Didymos. Hera's main objective is to further analyze the impact aftermath, aiding the scientific community and space agencies in understanding such deflection events.The aim is to enhance models that can efficiently redirect asteroids away from potential collisions with Earth or space structures. Additionally, the Hera mission is set to investigate a binary asteroid system in great detail. This mission will be the first of its kind focused on studying asteroid pairs like Didymos and Dimorphos. Given that 15% of known asteroids are binaries, this exploration will contribute to a deeper comprehension of asteroids' characteristics and actions.
