NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission

NASA is planning to launch DART mission sometimes between December 2020 and May 2021.  An Impactor spacecraft is planned to strike 150-m moonlet of asteroid Didymos.

 

The successful completion of DART mission will verify the validity of Kinetic Impactor method.  

 

Are we able to mitigate an asteroid impact after the DART mission?
