The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a focused spacecraft, designed to navigate to and impact an asteroid at a speed of 6.6 kilometers per second (roughly 15,000 miles per hour). It will be the first planetary defense test mission, demonstrating our capability to respond to a potential asteroid impact threat, should one ever be discovered. Join the DART Mission Coordination Lead and Planetary Scientist, Nancy Chabot (PhD), to learn how her team is setting the asteroid Dimorphos on a new orbit later this year.
