Since NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft intentionally slammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos on Sept. 26—altering its orbit by 33 minutes—the investigation team has been digging into the implications of how this planetary defense technique could be used in the future, if such a need should ever arise.

The DART mission, or the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, is set to intentionally collide with an asteroid on Monday. The goal is to test the technology that could be needed for planetary defense. Follow for live news updates.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) planetary defense mission successfully made impact with the small asteroid Dimorphos, located about 7 million miles from Earth. The DART spacecraft...

In a first for humanity, NASA successfully changed the path of an asteroid with the agency's DART mission that used a spacecraft to hit the nonthreatening asteroid Dimorphus. NBC News' Joshua Johnson is joined by DART lead coordinator Dr. Nancy Chabot to break down what lead to the success of the historic defense system.

The asteroid Dimorphos had its 12-hour orbit shortened by a half-hour.

In a huge step forward for planetary defense technology, NASA has confirmed that last month's DART test mission successfully changed the orbit of an asteroid.

NASA's recent planetary defense mission was a success, the space agency confirmed in a statement Tuesday.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test, aimed at changing an asteroid's path as a method of protecting Earth from asteroid strikes, succeeded at striking a...

Scientists analyzing data from the DART mission in 2022 have found new evidence of how the binary asteroid system of Didymos and Dimorphos originated. The post When the DART mission struck an asteroid moon first appeared on EarthSky.

A NASA spacecraft that will deliberately crash into a tiny asteroid is getting closer to its target. The DART mission is drawing closer to the moon of a near-Earth asteroid and is preparing to collide with the asteroid on September 26.

NASA's DART mission doesn't seem like it will leave behind an impact crater.

New studies have revealed the spacecraft's final moments and the remarkable aftermath of its impact

On Sept 26th, NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission intentionally crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos in an effort to test the idea of redirecting the orbit of asteroid as a …

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft beamed back its final moments before colliding with the asteroid Dimorphos in an attempt to change its orbit, and the collision was captured by telescopes on Earth

NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into an asteroid as part of a historic test of planetary defense. Data will be used to assess the effectiveness of asteroid deflection.

NASA said Tuesday that its DART mission had successfully altered the orbit of asteroid Dimorphos. The impact shortened the length of its orbit by 32 minutes.
