NASA to crash 13,500mph spacecraft into ASTEROID in mission to stop deadly strike on Earth Article Link: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/751994/nasa-news-spaceship-crash-asteroid-deadly-strike-earth-dart/amp NASA is planning to smash a spacecraft into an asteroid in the next phase of its planetary defence experiment. The US space agency is working on the most fiery and crucial stage of its Double Asteroid Redirection Test, DART. In 2021, it aims to fully test the new defence system by smashing a spaceship into a rock at 13,500mph (6 km per second). Depending on the size of the rock, it could cause a mass extinction event – like the type that wiped out dinosaurs – by sparking a mini ice age. Target – asteroid Didymos – to see whether it can successfully change the direction of the rock. Didymos is approximately 800m across and has a secondary orbiting body – known as a “moonlet” – that is 150m in size. Using state-of-the-art technology, the spaceship will smash into the smaller satellite at a distance of 11 million km from Earth.
