Double Asteroid Redirection Test

NASA is crashing a #spacecraft into an asteroid… on purpose! Our DARTmission is a first-of-its-kind PlanetaryDefense test to change the motion of an asteroid in space so that we could use this technique if an asteroid were ever discovered to be a threat to Earth. Follow DART: www.nasa.gov/DART
