Andy RivkinThe #DARTMission content starts ramping up today at #AGU22! We'll be having a press event this afternoon, where we'll be talking about some of our newest results, and then tomorrow we have a full day of oral sessions and poster sessions!
And of course, several of the #DARTMission team members at #AGU22 started their day with Goat Yoga.
And here’s a link to the press release and images! #DARTMission https://jhuapl.link/i5w
Scientists Following a Dusty Tail to Shape the Story of DART’s Impact
Since NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft intentionally slammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos on Sept. 26 — altering its orbit by 33 minutes — the investigation team has been digging into the implications of how this planetary defense technique could be used in the future, if such a need should ever arise. DART team members provided a preliminary interpretation of their findings during the American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting on Thursday, Dec. 15, in Chicago.
#AGU22 attendees! The #DARTMission session begins at the top of the hour in room S404ab! Speakers include Adams, Thomas, Scheirich, Li, Richardson, Agrusa, and your humble tooter.
Happy to pass along this BBC story about the #DARTMission findings we presented yesterday at #AGU22!
As we all go our separate ways after #AGU22, I wanted to post this great picture of (many of) the #DARTMission folks who were in attendance. It’s an amazing team, and it’s a privilege to be a part of it. I’m not sure we’ll ever get the whole worldwide gang in one place, but even in fragments our whole is more than the sum of our parts. ❤️
