Surprised we didn't already have a thread. DART launched successfully at 0621 UTC today (23 Nov 21). Mission page here, encounter (as in collision) with small satellite of 65803 Didymos in late Sep/early Oct 2022.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

On October 27, 2022, a new ASI event will take place: „LICIACube, un mese dopo!” [LICIACube, one month later!]: https://www.asi.it/event/liciacube-un-mese-dopo/
„...One month after the DART LICIACube mission (...) ASI is organizing a public event to present the contribution of the Italian scientific community. The event will be held at the Auditorium of the ASI headquarters on October 27, 2022, at 10.00 (...) LICIACube is still downloading the acquired images, data storage and processing is managed in the Science Operations Center (SOC), at the Space Science Data Center (SSDC) of ASI...” [with agenda - in Italian] Maybe we'll see some new images and / or interpretations??? |

On October 27, 2022, a new ASI event will take place: „LICIACube, un mese dopo!” [LICIACube, one month later!] The recording of the event is here: https://asitv.it/contenuti/download/live/1e...be-un-mese-dopo (only in Italian, no new pictures) Some quotes from presentations: The color of Didymos as seen by the LUKE camera is giallino = pale yellow Characteristics of the plume: - wide cone opening - "filamentous" structure - different distribution of speed and particle size - deviation or overlapping of internal flows ("streamers") during the evolution of the plume - morphology variable over time And at 02:51:45 - nice clip of the OSIRIS-Rex touchdown video |
