Know about NASA's Dart mission to save Earth from asteroid impact, the experiment is going on


Washington, September 26, 2022, Monday

The American space agency NASA is conducting an experiment at a cost of 330 million dollars. In which a spacecraft is deliberately arranged to collide with a meteorite. The purpose of this experiment is to change the path of a space object coming towards the Earth. The mission is named Asteroid Redirection Test.

4 million years ago, the dinosaurs that existed on Earth were destroyed by an asteroid impact. This success is important to protect the Earth from future collisions of such celestial objects. Many movies have been made in Hollywood based on the fictional story of an asteroid coming to destroy the earth. Which includes films like Don't Look Up and Armageddon. NASA has selected a meteorite named Dimorphos, also known as a moonlet, for the Dart mission.


Another giant meteorite orbits near this Earth called Didymos. Diamorphos is about 160 meters in diameter. This incident is taking shape on September 26 at 7.14 pm according to American time. This is the first planet-defense test to save Earth because the probability of a meteorite hitting Earth is very low. This meteorite will be 1.1 crore kilometers from Earth,

According to NASA, the Dart space craft is scheduled to crash over the Indian Ocean. The speed of the spacecraft will be 6.6 km per second. There are about 30 thousand small and big asteroids around the earth. A section of NASA keeps a close eye on this small celestial body as it passes close to Earth.

The data from this research experiment Dart will be very useful for what can be done to change the orbit or destroy one if it does come to Earth, as long as it passes at a safe distance from Earth. Space scientists believe that altering the orbit of any asteroid is better than destroying it.
