Apply NOW for NASA's DART Mission to crash spacecraft into an asteroid; deadline August 15
NASA with its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission is all set to soon crash a spacecraft into a non-hazardous asteroid in order to test planetary defence techniques. The mission, if successful, will provide knowledge about what to do if an asteroid is actually heading for Earth and will crash into it, destroying much of humanity. If you want to join the research organisation to see the DART Mission intentionally crash into an asteroid, you will have to apply for the same. The last date to apply is August 15, 2022. Also, it needs to be noted that because of the security deadlines, registration is limited to U.S. citizens only. If you have a valid permanent resident card you will be processed as a U.S. citizen. The NASA Social event will occur on Monday, September 26, 2022.
"Our #DARTMission will soon collide with a non-hazardous asteroid as a test of planetary defense. Know someone who should hang with us at @JHUAPL for the main event, and share behind-the-scenes details? Tag them! Is it you? Apply by Aug. 15," NASA tweeted on Sunday. According to the information provided by NASA, this will be the world's first mission to deflect an asteroid in space. NASA's DART, built and managed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, will demonstrate and test asteroid deflection by kinetic impactor.
