@PierreHnoud This system is the perfect place to test. DART (about the size of a refrigerator), will hit Dimorphos (about the size of a football stadium), which is orbiting the far larger Didymos. We can impart enough force to speed up Dimorphos a little bit, but not knock it out of orbit. — PolitiTweet.org

Sights are set! Our #DARTmission got its first look at the Didymos double-asteroid system, which poses no threat to Earth. On Sept. 26, DART will intentionally crash into Dimorphos to change its path as part of the world’s first planetary defense test: https://t.co/K8mlNIgLVB https://t.co/VLt3McfcIc — PolitiTweet.org
