The first images showed the double asteroid system of Didymos – about 2,500 feet (780 meters) in diameter – being orbited by a smaller asteroid, Dimorphos, which is about 525 feet (160 meters) long. — The Conversation
at the University of Southern California and director of the Space Engineering Research Center there. He watched NASA’s live stream of the successful mission and explains what is known so far., taken by a camera aboard DART, show the double asteroid system of Didymos – about 2,500 feet in diameter – being orbited by the smaller asteroid Dimorphos that is about 525 feet long.
. This meant that the targeting algorithm was fairly accurate and the craft would collide right at the center of Dimorphos. The final image from DART, taken one second before impact, was not able to fully transmit back to Earth.The final photo, taken one second before impact, only shows the top slice of an image but this is incredibly exciting. The fact that NASA received only a part of the image implies that the shutter took the picture but DART,The point of the DART mission was to test whether it is possible to– by crashing something into it.
