NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test is the first mission to demonstrate asteroid deflection by kinetic impactor. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is checking the flight path of the mission and running computer simulations to predict how the impact changes the asteroid’s orbit. The team will also make telescopic observations to determine the i
