Behind the Spacecraft: Elena Adams

Behind the Spacecraft: Elena Adams

????

Before NASA's #DARTmission slams into an asteroid — in the name of science — it has to be designed, built, launched, and flown. Johns Hopkins APL systems engineer Elena Adams has made sure that the mission will hit the mark. Stay tuned for launch and impact: www.nasa.gov/DART The DART mission is a test of a technique that could be used to mitigate the threat of an asteroid on a collision course with Earth should one be discovered in the future. DART's target is not a threat to Earth. While no known asteroid larger than 140 meters in size has a significant chance to hit Earth for the next 100 years, only about 40 percent of those asteroids have been found as of October 2021.

I'm ready to cut every penny of nasa's funding. Now they just want to put a transgender of color on the moon. It's not even for research and is a complete waste of money that does nothing for America.

January 11, 2023, the answer to today's question is: the sea levels aren't rising, at all. Shouldn't NASA employees know simple facts like this?

@kalyansrathore Says:
Hey Elena! Congrats on Dart's success. You inspire us no matter what field we come from. I have a couple of questions please: 1. Is the orbital plane of dimorphos aligned with the Earth? Is'nt this an important criteria for earth-observers to see the periodic dip in light to access the result of the impact? 2. To be sure that the impact doesn't set the moonlet spinning , we have to strike it in line with its CG... (if I am right) then how was this determined ? Thank you :)

if you have something sexist in mind, leave it there. try to realize the thought has no purpose at all :-) reading some of these comments makes me sad for you small-minded americans. spreading your bitterness and hate is so low for you grown up men.

@buddhistandcatholic Says:
Is NASA choosing to be 10 years late with the DART like they are landing on the moon. NASA is choosing to waste Artemis 2 by not attempting to land on the moon. Reminds me of a little kid easing himself. NASA should hand off the DART to the US SPACE FORCE. Defense is their job and NASA has become chicken.

Meanwhile Nasa administrator Bill Nelson acknowledged the 2004 USS Nimitz tictac craft encounter, its ET nature and 300 other incidents since. Is it time we start telling the truth?
@ronm6585 Says:
Thank you.
@Corvaire Says:
Does it have concussion explosives on it? or, just relying on impact alone?
@cybergothika6906 Says:
Its the revenge of things finally hitting asteroids instead of it hitting us. You know I'm just a joking but it makes you think. One had to hit us so we could exist (maybe more than one) and now we're finally hitting them, to understand why. 🤯
@scarletkitten Says:
this is cute and all but Asteroids cant be stopped by a school bus. Good try though. Here i am hoping an asteroid hits earth soon to reset and she's out here trying to save it.
