NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at testing the feasibility of deflecting an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. This mission, the first of its kind, could pave the way for future asteroid deflection strategies, potentially safeguarding our planet from catastrophic impacts.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at demonstrating the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space. This mission, the first of its kind, is a crucial step in preparing for potential asteroid threats to Earth.
Space stations, the outposts of human presence in the cosmos, have been making headlines with a series of recent developments and missions. From the International Space Station (ISS) to China's Tiangong and plans for new commercial space stations, these orbiting laboratories are playing a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of space and fostering international cooperation.
NASA's Perseverance rover, the most advanced astrobiology lab ever sent to another world, is rewriting our understanding of Mars. Since its landing in February 2021, the rover has been exploring the Jezero Crater, a region believed to have once been flooded with water, in search of signs of ancient microbial life.
