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.

Yes, LICIACube has quite limited technological capabilities - we have to remember that this mini-satellite is about the size of a microwave oven, but the opportunity to "squeeze" more scientific results out of it is exciting!
BTW, there is a new potential opportunity to hear about the new LICIACube results from the Dimorphos impact observation: Festival delle Scienze 2022 = Science Festival 2022, November 21, 08:00 - November 27, 17:00 https://www.asi.it/event/festival-delle-scienze-2022/ Saturday, November 26 at 19:00, Guest Room: "LiciaCube" conference: „...A few months after the detachment of the LICIACube nanosatellite from the DART probe, the meeting will present the contribution of the Italian scientific community to the NASA mission at the Festival. A successful mission that opens up new perspectives in asteroid monitoring and exploration policies in the context of planetary defense...” |
