Europe’s Hera probe launched a mission to inspect the damage caused by a NASA spacecraft that deflected the pyramid-sized asteroid Dimorphos in 2022. The successful deflection demonstrated humanity’s ability to prevent a potential catastrophic asteroid impact on Earth.
Despite the successful mission, many aspects of the impact remain unknown, prompting Hera’s mission to further investigate the aftermath. Hera’s findings could shed light on the dynamics of asteroid deflection and provide valuable insights for future planetary defense strategies.
Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking mission as Hera explores the aftermath of the asteroid impact. The mission holds significant implications for planetary defense and our understanding of asteroid behaviors.
