  1. DART’s Mission of Deliberately Crash into Dimorphos is on Track Didymos, the double-asteroid formation that contains its target, Dimorphos, was observed by NASA’sDouble Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission for the first time. DART will purposefully collide with Didymos’ asteroid moonlet Dimorphos on September 26. This marks the first test of the energetic impact method, which uses a spaceship to divert an asteroid for planet defense, although the asteroid does not pose a threat to Earth. The Disymos system is still quite far away from DART – about 20 million miles distant – and navigation camera scientists weren’t sure if DRACO could see the asteroid just yet. However, the scientists improved it and uncovered Didymos by combining the 243 photographs DRACO captured throughout this observational series. DART will finally rely on its ability to view and directly relate to Didymos and Dimorphos when it too is visible to advise the spaceship toward the asteroid, particularly in the last four hours before actual impact. It is true even though the team has already carried out several steering simulations using non-DRACO images of Didymos. DART will then need to self-navigate to collide with Dimorphos without human assistance effectively.
