The Hera mission is following up on NASA’s DART mission, which altered the orbit of Dimorphos, after a successful impact in 2022.
Hera will soon study the aftermath of the impact.
Launching this October, Hera will turn this grand-scale experiment into a well-understood and hopefully repeatable planetary defence technique.
