The half-hour #DARTMission press conference recording is now up on the public AGU channel https://youtu.be/FF-5B7_FMfY #astrodon

And now the announcement of the momentum enhancement factor: that's what you need to be able to design a mission to move any potentially hazardous asteroid! #DARTmission

ahhhh so neat to have our Ōtehīwai Mt John images of the ejecta/dust tail included in the press conference! #DARTmission

Very excited to be watching the #DARTmission press conference (live, but remotely). So neat to see everything of vast amounts of the team's work pulled together

Kia ora #astrodon #planetaryscience .
I like thinking about small worlds in the Solar System, #interstellar objects, how to find them and how to visit them; currently with #DARTmission learning more about #PlanetaryDefense .
On the local side of things planetary, musing about #spacesustainability, from rockets to satellites to dark skies.

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.

🛰️ This is only a test – of planetary defense. Today, our #DARTMission is set to crash into a non-hazardous asteroid to test deflection technology, should we ever discover a threat.

Impact: 7:14pm ET (23:14 UTC). Watch our LIVE broadcast at 6pm ET: https://youtu.be/4RA8Tfa6Sck

Tomorrow evening, @NASA@twitter.com's #DARTmission crashes into #asteroid #Dimorphos

ESA's #Estrack network will be tracking the event, our astronomers will be watching the plume created with telescopes on the ground and our #HERAmission is getting ready to fly out and study the results!🪨

Our #DARTMission lifted off on a test of planetary defense, a new docking module arrived at the @Space_Station, and crew members sent a #Thanksgiving message from space.

All this and more on This Week @ NASA.

☀️ The warmth of sunshine on just-unrolled solar panels. Nothing like it.

Our #DARTMission has unfurled its two 28-foot-long solar arrays, the last milestone in today's successful launch. http://go.nasa.gov/3FKzzqe

That’s a wrap for our #DARTMission launch coverage, but there’s plenty more news to come!

Stay tuned to NASA, @AsteroidWatch, and @JHUAPL social media for the latest updates on DART's journey on its way to asteroid Dimorphos in late 2022.

We've received our first signals from #DARTMission, which will continue to roll out its solar arrays in the coming hours and prepare for its 10-month, one-way trip to the asteroid Dimorphos.

On our way!

55 minutes into its flight, the #DARTMission spacecraft has separated from the @SpaceX Falcon 9 second stage, and will soon begin to orient itself toward the Sun.

Launch of the @SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying the DART spacecraft - starting a nearly one-year journey to crash into a distant asteroid as a test! Keep checking back for more images! #DARTMission #PlanetaryDefense More: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX9x1oZ

Asteroid Dimorphos: we're coming for you!

Riding a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, our #DARTMission blasted off at 1:21am EST (06:21 UTC), launching the world's first mission to test asteroid-deflecting technology.
