Almost two hours later, the spacecraft successfully unfurled its two 28-foot-long roll-out solar arrays. Minutes later, mission operators at APL received the first spacecraft telemetry data and started the process of orienting the spacecraft to a safe position for deploying its solar arrays. EST, DART separated from the second stage of its launch vehicle. "We are honored that NASA has entrusted APL with this critical mission, where the fate of the world really could rest on our success."Īt 2:17 a.m. "The Double Asteroid Redirection Test represents the best of APL's approach to space science and engineering: identify the challenge, devise an innovative and cost-effective technical solution to address it, and work relentlessly to solve it," APL Director Ralph Semmel said. It's a method called kinetic impact, and the test will provide important data to help humankind better prepare for an asteroid that might post an impact hazard to Earth, should one ever be discovered.
DART will show that a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to a target asteroid and intentionally collide with it. EST from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.Īs just one part of NASA's larger planetary defense strategy, DART will send a spacecraft to impact a known asteroid that is not a threat to Earth, to slightly change its motion in a way that can be accurately measured via ground-based telescopic observations. The spacecraft launched Wednesday morning at 1:21 a.m. Lighting up the California coastline early Wednesday morning, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, spacecraft into space to begin its one-way trip to crash into an asteroid.ĭART-a mission designed, developed, and managed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory for NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office-is the world's first full-scale mission to test technology for defending the planet against potential asteroid or comet hazards.
