Bildinfo

• Die rund 570 Kilogramm schwere kleine Sonde fliegt mit etwa 6,1 Kilometern pro Sekunde auf den Asteroiden Didymos B zu und soll diesen in seiner Umlaufbahn um den größeren Asteroiden Didymos B rechts stören.
  

• Originalbeschriftung: The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which will help determine if intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is an effective way to change its course, is scheduled to launch no earlier than 1:21 a.m. EST Wednesday, Nov. 24 (10:21 p.m. PST Tuesday, Nov. 23) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
  

• This illustration is of the DART spacecraft and the Italian Space Agency’s (ASI) LICIACube prior to impact at the Didymos binary system.
  

• DART is the agency’s first planetary defense test mission and the target asteroid is not a threat to Earth.
