5 天之前 · Designed to help NASA discover and characterize most of the potentially hazardous asteroids and comets that come within 30 million miles of Earth. The world’s first demonstration of asteroid deflection technology.

2022年9月27日 · After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully impacted its asteroid target on Monday, the agency’s first attempt to move an asteroid in space.

Asteroid impact avoidance encompasses the methods by which near-Earth objects (NEO) on a potential collision course with Earth could be diverted, preventing destructive impact events.

2019年4月11日 · Asteroid impacts are the only potentially preventable natural disaster — provided we spot the threatening asteroid with enough lead time to launch a mission into space to deflect it. NASA and its partners are studying several different approaches to deflecting a hazardous asteroid.

2023年4月18日 · To help guide NASA’s efforts over the next decade, the agency today released its Planetary Defense Strategy and Action Plan. For three decades, NASA has engaged in studying near-Earth objects (NEOs), asteroids and comets that orbit the Sun and come within 30 million miles of our planet’s orbit.

2020年6月23日 · In 2022, that moon will be the target of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the first full-scale demonstration of an asteroid deflection technology for planetary defense. The DART spacecraft will execute a kinetic impact, deliberately crashing into the asteroid to change its motion in space. To mark this historic mission, Didymos ...

DART was the first planetary defense mission to test a method of deflecting an asteroid on course to hit Earth. The threat from asteroid impacts is small but serious — and preventable. Missions like DART are essential to help us understand how to stop dangerous asteroids.

2023年3月14日 · Planetary defense is the effort to monitor and protect Earth from asteroids, comets and other objects in space. Earth 's gravity attracts more than a hundred tons (more than 90 metric tons) of...

2025年2月7日 · While still an extremely low possibility, additional observations and analysis of asteroid 2024 YR4 indicate that its impact probability with Earth has increased to a 2.3% chance on Dec. 22, 2032. Ongoing observations from ground-based telescopes involved with the International Asteroid Warning Network will continue while the asteroid is still visible through …
