The European Space Agency is set to launch the Hera mission, embarking on an intriguing journey to explore the cosmic remnants of NASA’s DART mission.
Slated to reach its destination by 2026, Hera aims to decipher the impact results on Dimorphos, offering pivotal data for future planetary defences.
Hera’s mission promises to extend the legacy of DART by providing critical insights into asteroid deflection capabilities. The resultant data will not only enhance scientific understanding but also prepare humanity for future cosmic challenges.
The detailed exploration by Hera signifies a major leap in planetary defence strategy, potentially safeguarding Earth against asteroid threats.
