Don't want to miss a thing? Watch the final moments from the #DARTMission on its collision course with asteroid Dimporphos. https://t.co/2qbVMnqQrD — PolitiTweet.org

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth. https://t.co/7bXipPkjWD — PolitiTweet.org

Eyes are locked on asteroid Dimorphos! Only 20 minutes until impact, #DARTMission’s smart navigation is now precision-locked on non-hazardous asteroid Dimorphos, as the space craft travels at 6 kilometers per second. https://t.co/oYJcURgKWB — PolitiTweet.org

@JordanT12081 @ASI_spazio The #DARTmission spacecraft will be traveling at 14,000 mph at the time of impact. — PolitiTweet.org

Planetary defense takes planetary participation. LICIACube, a small cube satellite built by the @ASI_spazio, will try to capture images of the impact to provide a glimpse into the surface change of asteroid Dimorphos: https://t.co/M9G7ogwEBK — PolitiTweet.org

@Jose__Aldi We have two streams: live from mission control (https://t.co/VAfF5ZXKO9), and live from the spacecraft itself (https://t.co/m295Y6vae1). The mission control show will include the feed from the spacecraft, and continue after the feed from the spacecraft drops at impact. — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@PetranArk No. The DART mission will be testing the kinetic impact mitigation technique by sending a spacecraft to intentionally collide with the moon of an asteroid. The purpose of kinetic impact is to change the asteroid’s motion, and the DART spacecraft is too small to destroy it. — PolitiTweet.org

@c121hains We are confident DART will hit its mark, but nothing in space exploration is ever guaranteed. If DART misses, we will review all data and decide what options to take as next steps. There are no plans yet approved for DART to continue its mission following a missed approach. — PolitiTweet.org

One hour until the 6pm ET live broadcast for #DARTMission’s impact into an asteroid! The autonomous system on the spacecraft is operating on its own as DART approaches with no human intervention. Tune in to watch the impact live from mission control: https://t.co/VAfF5ZXcYB — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@KerbalSpaceP Orbital mechanics in action! 🚀 Here's how to tune in: https://t.co/XOgs8RSoEU We'll also have a feed with live images directly from DART's DRACO camera: https://t.co/i2asuYY5Et — PolitiTweet.org

@GregHou35088703 @SenBillNelson DART is far too small to knock Dimorphos out of its orbit around Didymos. This impact will change the path of the smaller asteroid just enough to be measured by Earth-based telescopes (less than 1%). This asteroid system has been studied for years and its mass is well known. — PolitiTweet.org

@humming_hiker @SenBillNelson There's no cause for alarm. DART is too small to knock Dimorphos out of its orbit around Didymos. This impact will change the path of the smaller asteroid just enough to be measured by Earth-based scopes (< 1%). This asteroid system has been studied for years and is well known. — PolitiTweet.org

@Ivynelsewhere You can watch live footage of the impact from the DRACO camera aboard DART: https://t.co/pvU1gZXfVK Additionally, a number of other spacecraft will try to observe the impact, including the LICIACube satellite flying along with DART. We'll share if images become available! — PolitiTweet.org

@BigA619 @Space_Station The Didymos/Dimorphos asteroid system is the perfect place to test this technology safely. DART is too small to knock Dimorphos out of its orbit around Didymos.

@Walkingman100 Assuming you're referring to the mission and not the movie, in 2005, Deep Impact deployed a smaller probe impacted by a much larger object. Comet Tempel 1 produced a bright flash and ejecta plume: https://t.co/13JgZ6kR5Y https://t.co/dxDWBz6fj6 — PolitiTweet.org
