On November 24, NASA will launch the agency’s first planetary defense test mission named 'Double Asteroid Redirection Test' (DART).
The main aim of the mission is to test the newly developed technology that would allow a spacecraft to crash into an asteroid and change its course.
The spacecraft will be launched on a Space-X Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The target of the spacecraft is a small moonlet called Dimorphos.
It has two solar arrays and uses hydrazine propellant for maneuvering the spacecraft. The spacecraft carries a high-resolution imager called Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical Navigation (DRACO). Images from DRACO will be sent to Earth in real-time.
