The results of Hera's fly-by could ultimately tell us whether Deimos is a captured asteroid or made from debris from a giant ...

A space probe named Hera captured images of Mars' small Deimos moon while on a mission to examine an asteroid.

The Hera probe has swung around Mars, using the planet’s gravitational pull to fling itself toward its asteroid target.

A mission to survey the results of a deliberate crash between an asteroid and a NASA spacecraft has taken stunning images of ...

On the way to investigate the scene of a historic asteroid collision, a European spacecraft swung by Mars and ...

Deimos orbits Mars at an altitude of approximately 23,500 kilometres and has an orbital period of just over 30 hours. No other moons in the Solar System orbit their planet at such low altitudes.

ESA's Hera spacecraft for planetary defense performs a flyby of Mars. The gravity of the red planet shifts the spacecraft's trajectory towards the Didymos binary asteroid system, shortening its trip ...

"It's exciting to explore a new option for the making of Phobos and Deimos — the only moons in our solar system that orbit a rocky planet besides Earth's," Jacob Kegerreis of NASA's Ames ...

Technology designed in Dublin will assist a European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft called Hera as it navigates a close fly-by ...

But if little Deimos, only five miles in diameter, could be brought into earth orbit, it could be investigated more thoroughly. The technology of the interplanetary move, which would be man’s ...
