The primary goal of planetary defense is to locate asteroids. When an asteroid impact threat is identified years or even decades ahead, there's a chance to consider a deflection mission.

NASA is exploring various technologies and methods to redirect asteroids on a potential collision course with Earth.

One of these was the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which involved impacting an asteroid to alter its speed and trajectory.

DART is a well-planned demonstration to assess the viability of kinetic impactors as a means of asteroid deflection in case of any future threats to our planet.

The DART mission has enhanced our preparedness in case an asteroid poses a threat to Earth by providing valuable insights and knowledge.
