Deep Astronomy - NASA’s DART Mission: Protecting Earth From Hazardous Asteroids

<p class="p1"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ACZFtTadTk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ACZFtTadTk</a></p> <p class="p1">DART is a planetary defense-driven test of technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space. This asteroid system is a perfect testing ground to see if intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid is an effective way to change its course, should an Earth-threatening asteroid be discovered in the future.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Our host, Tony Darnell, will talk about the DART mission with these experts:</p> <p class="p1">Dipak Srinivasan, APL Civil Space<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Andy Rivkin, DART Investigation Team Lead</p> <p class="p1">Lena Adams, DART Mission Systems Engineer</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p class="p1">Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Every bit helps!
