European Space Agency to send spacecraft past Mars
European Space Agency to send spacecraft past Mars for 'crime scene investigation'
The European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft is set to investigate the aftermath of NASA’s DART mission, which successfully deflected the asteroid Dimorphos. Scheduled to launch soon, Hera will analyse the impact damage and gather crucial data to better understand asteroid threats and potential planetary defences.

Hera mission set to revisit asteroid after NASA's redirection test
The European Space Agency is sending a probe to get a closer look at the asteroid Dimorphos, which had its orbit altered by NASA’s DART mission in 2022
Hera Spacecraft To Probe Asteroid Deflected By Defence Test
Europe's Hera probe is tentatively scheduled to launch Monday on a mission to inspect the damage a NASA spacecraft made when it smashed into an asteroid during the first test of Earth's planetary defences.

ESA Set to Launch Hera Mission, the First Planetary Defense Endeavor of Its Kind
Space is a pretty wild place with asteroids, rogue planets and possibly even aliens species being a threat to humanity. Now a new mission by the ESA is about to launch, heading into space to inspect the Dimorphos and Didymos asteroid pair to better understand how we might redirect it if it was coming our way.
The ESA’s Hera mission takes flight toward the asteroid deflected by NASA’s DART probe two years ago
In 2022, a probe was sent crashing into an asteroid as part of a “planetary defence” test. This Monday, the second part of the mission flies off to study the consequences of the impact.
ESA’s ‘Hera’ Mission: A New Era in Asteroid Deflection and Planetary Defense
A new space mission could potentially change the course of asteroids, significantly reducing the threat they pose to Earth. In October, the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch "Hera," the second phase of a mission that may pave the way for asteroid deflection.
