China is preparing to launch its first-ever asteroid deflection test mission, targeting the near-Earth asteroid 2016 WP8. The mission, set for December 2027, will utilize a kinetic impactor to alter ...

Blue Origin collaborates with NASA and Caltech on NEO Hunter, a mission to identify and deflect hazardous Near Earth Objects.

Didymos forms part of a binary system with the smaller asteroid Dimorphos.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission not only altered an asteroid’s orbit but, for the first time, a new study shows we also successfully changed the asteroids' path around the sun.

NASA’s DART mission not only altered Dimorphos’ orbit around Didymos but also slightly shifted the asteroid system’s path ...

Observations from a global network of telescopes helped verify that NASA’s DART spacecraft successfully altered the orbit of the asteroid moon Dimorphos. The measurements confirmed the first planetary ...
