ESA’s Hera Mission: Unraveling 10 Asteroid Mysteries at a Historic Crash Site

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Hera mission is set to embark on a groundbreaking journey to the Dimorphos asteroid in November, aiming to gather crucial data on asteroid deflection techniques and unlock lingering scientific enigmas.

This pioneering planetary defense mission will conduct a close-up survey of the site where NASA’s DART spacecraft intentionally altered Dimorphos’ orbit, marking the first time humanity has successfully changed the trajectory of a celestial body.
