The #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.
Just about ready for the press event! #DARTMission #AGU22

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.

Dart: Asteroid deflection experiment boosted by debris

The Nasa probe that slammed into a space rock to change its path was helped by the mess it made.

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. ❤️
