Hera – ESA’s planetary defence mission (preview of fulldome planetarium show)

Journey to an asteroid with Hera – a small spacecraft with big ambitions. Hera is ESA’s contribution to humanity’s first ever planetary defence experiment. Its up-close observations of double asteroid system Didymos will help prove whether we could ever deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.

During this short fulldome planetarium show, you will ride with Hera to visit Didymos and discover more about this fascinating space mission. The realistic 3D renderings will teleport you into deep space to experience for yourself a journey to an asteroid.

This is a flat preview version of content designed for planetarium use only. It is available in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. The English version of the show is narrated by Queen guitarist Brian May.
