Asteroids heading towards Earth. Nasa and Europe space meeting to defend the earth.
NASA and Europe space agency (ESA) meeting to discuss solving the asteroids problem. The meeting is scheduled in next week in Rome. The two-part mission dubbed Asteroid Impact Deflection Assessment (AIDA) plans to collide with asteroid Didymoon — the smaller of the Didymos’ binary system. NASA is in charge of conducting the actually impact while ESA will analyze the aftermath.
KNOW WHAT ARE THE NUTRIENTS DEFICIENCY AND THEIR SIGNS.
Hundreds of asteroids are whizzing past Earth. Thanks to satellites and telescopes watching the skies, we know more about them than ever before — including the threats they pose. To counter incoming asteroids, the European Space Agency ( ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are teaming up to deflect an asteroid as a proof-of-concept for planetary defense. They’re going to double tag the dual asteroids dubbed Didymoon and Didymos. The aim is to knock out the smaller asteroid — Didymoon — and then analyze the crash site.
ESA, NASA and other research centers all around the world is coming forward to meet in Rome to solve this issue.
NASA is mainly going to handle the Asteroids.
AIDA has two important parts of the mission which is divided between NASA and ESA. The American space agency is planning to use DART spacecraft to collide with the asteroid.
DART will travel at a speed of 6.6 kilometers per second to break the space rock into smaller pieces with help from its onboard camera — DRACO — and autonomous navigation software. An Italian Satelite Cubasat will be flying alongside to record impact and send data for analysis.
ESA will analyze the dart impact with the asteroid.
ESA is calling its part in the mission ‘Hera’, which is also be appended CubeSats for a close-up survey of the asteroid impacts result. This will be the first time that an asteroid will be subject to a radar probe.
The aim of analyzing dart impact studies and improve the efficiency of the defense mechanism against asteroids.

DART can perform its mission without Hera – the effect of its impact on the asteroid’s orbit will be measurable using Earth ground-based observatories alone," explains Ian Carnelli, managing Hera for ESA. But sending two satellites will magnify the study and helps to collect more data for analysis.
Hera will collect all the necessary information required for other space mission related to asteroid defense.
It takes more than a year to reach Didymoon asteroid.
NASA is planning to launch this spacecraft on July 2021. NASA is planning to launch from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California abroad SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
The plan is for DART to reach the Didymoon in September 2022 when the binary asteroids will be around 11 million kilometers from Earth. The AIDA workshop next week will share progress on the DART spacecraft and collate information on the targeted asteroids that will fly by Earth on 7 October 2022.
