On 26th September 2022 the NASA mission DART will perform the first test of the kinetic impactor technique to deflect asteroid from their orbit. The DART impact is expected to change the binary orbital period of Dimorphos, the 160-m moon of Didymos Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), by about 10 min. LICIACube (Light Italian Cubesat for Imaging of Asteroids) will testify the impact and its effects in the first few minutes after impact.

Abstract
On 26th September 2022 the NASA mission DART will perform the first test of the kinetic impactor technique to deflect asteroid from their orbit. The DART impact is expected to change the binary orbital period of Dimorphos, the 160-m moon of Didymos Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), by about 10 min. LICIACube (Light Italian Cubesat for Imaging of Asteroids) will testify the impact and its effects in the first few minutes after impact.File in questo prodotto:
