NASA's DART mission didn’t just change the orbit of Dimorphos, the asteroid it hit. It changed the orbit of the larger ...
A new study shows that, not only did the agency’s 2022 DART mission shift the orbit of the moonlet Dimorphos, it also changed the path of its parent asteroid around the sun.
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission not only altered an asteroid’s orbit but, for the first time, a new study shows we also successfully changed the asteroids' path around the sun.
Here's what scientists have now learned about the DART mission.
According to the space agency's tracking, the rock is hurtling through space at more than 21,500 miles per hour.

New observations show the aftermath of a spacecraft intentionally colliding with an asteroid
The NASA DART spacecraft shifted the orbits of two asteroids around the sun after intentionally crashing into one of them.
New data about the DART spacecraft’s effects adds evidence that Earth could be defended from future deadly asteroids by diverting their orbits.
NASA’s DART mission not only altered Dimorphos’ orbit around Didymos but also slightly shifted the asteroid system’s path ...
