Introducing Juventas… 🛰️
A shoebox-sized spacecraft from our Hera mission that’s about to explore the binary asteroid system of Didymos and its moon, Dimorphos – a space rock the size of the Great Pyramid!
Using its cutting-edge radar system, Juventas will reveal whether Dimorphos is a solid monolith or simply a loose pile of rubble. Plus, it’s going to gently land and measure the asteroid’s gravity—something never done before!
This tiny spacecraft is set to rewrite what we know about asteroids and could one day help protect our planet.
Stay tuned for more on Hera’s thrilling mission!
