Asteroid Rebound NASA 'DART' Launch Successful

NASA's Dart mission has been a success. Recently, a NASA spacecraft collided with an asteroid. After that, a NASA experiment was successful in getting it into another orbit.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) experiment conducted by the American space research organisation "NASA" has been successful as the target is to redirect the asteroids coming towards the Earth. On the 26th of last month, the Dart spacecraft collided with the asteroid Doumorphus. NASA has recently announced that it has changed its orbit. NASA's Dart mission has been a success. Recently, a NASA spacecraft collided with an asteroid. After that, a NASA experiment was successful in getting it into another orbit. The agency provided this information when it announced the 'Save the World' testing. NASA said that the spacecraft they sent collided with an asteroid, due to which there was a huge crater in it and its debris was spread in space. To determine how much of an impact this 520-foot-long asteroid had on the vehicle..

This difference came after the clash

The asteroid took 11 hours and 55 minutes to orbit before hitting the vehicle, NASA said. At the same time, there has been a decrease of 10 minutes.

The experiment was to change the direction of the asteroid

In fact, NASA conducted its first experiment to change the direction of an incoming asteroid towards Earth. At the same time last year, it hit an asteroid at a distance of 1.10 km at a speed of 22,500 km per hour.
