A new mission is underway to help protect the Earth from asteroids. The spacecraft "Hera" started its mission to revisit the scene of a cosmic crash when blasted off on Monday, Oct. 7. The European Space Agency's Hera mission is a follow-up to NASA's "Dart" mission in 2022. During the previous mission, an asteroid was successfully knocked off its orbit by forcing a satellite to crash into it. This new ESA mission is part two of the mission. It's…

ESA's Hera spacecraft launches to help advance planetary defense

The European space defence mission Hera successfully lifted off from Cape Canaveral on Monday at 10:52 local time (16:52 CET) aboard a Falcon 9 rocket manufactured by the private company SpaceX. Very few observers were confident that the launch would comply with its planned programme: Hurricane Milton, approaching the coast of Florida, reached Category 5 during the early hours of Monday and is expected to make landfall Wednesday in the western e…

Hera, the first planetary defence spacecraft of the European Space Agency (ESA), has departed planet Earth. The Hera mission is headed to a unique target among the more than 1,3-million known asteroids in our Solar System – the only body to have had its orbit shifted by human action – to solve lingering mysteries associated with its deflection. By sharpening scientific understanding of the ‘kinetic impact’ technique of asteroid deflection, Hera …

ESA’s first planetary defence mission launched from Cape Canaveral - European Security & Defence

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Hera mission is set to launch today aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral. The mission will revisit the Didymos asteroid system to study the aftermath of NASA's DART mission, which altered the trajectory of the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022. Hera will provide detailed insights into asteroid deflection, a crucial element in planetary defense strategies. Mission Overview: A Critical Step in Planetary De…

SpaceX to Launch ESA's Hera Mission Today: A Crucial Step in Earth's Planetary Defense Strategy

Credit: ESA/Science Office The European Space Agency’s Hera planetary defence probe has begun its two-year journey to a distant asteroid after being successfully launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Hera was developed under ESA’s Space Safety Programme and has been tasked with surveying the results of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (Dart) mission. The Dart mission tested the viability of using a kinetic impact event to deflect an a…
