Summary

Description
English: The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which will help determine if intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is an effective way to change its course, launched on Wednesday, 24 November 2021, at 06:21 UTC on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

This illustration is of the DART spacecraft and the Italian Space Agency’s (ASI) LICIACube prior to impact at the Didymos binary system.

DART is the agency's first planetary defense test mission and the target asteroid is not a threat to Earth.
