Description: NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission is all about keeping us safe. DART is a test mission designed to see if we can move an asteroid by smashing into it and seeing what happens. This is a precursor to a Near Earth Object (NEO) Surveillance Mission to survey the solar system for things that could hit the Earth. DART is scheduled to launch later this year, tune in to find out more Join our active astronomy community on Discord: discord.gg/Fn6jSVQ8dS
