Behind the Spacecraft: Michelle Chen

Behind the Spacecraft: Michelle Chen

????

NASA's #DARTmission will purposely crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to change its orbital period. But in order to hit the mark, this test mission needs to locate its target first. That's why Johns Hopkins APL engineer Michelle Chen helped develop new autonomous navigation techniques that will ensure a bullseye. Follow DART: 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.

Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning. (Quran 67/17)

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.

Would be weird if the spacecraft sent a message back .... "Sorry, I cant do this, I don't want to die"

Thanks for wasting two min of my life
@jimbones155 Says:
The craft will do absolutely nothing because of the electromagnetic force buildup just before impact. This video is just a bunch of leftist nonsense and the background music proves it. NASA has jumped the shark, again.
