Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesThe European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft is loaded into a jet in early September 2024 for the trip from Germany to Florida ahead of its planned Oct. 7 liftoff.
The Hera mission's two accompanying cubesats, Milani and Juventas, are seen on the ground in Florida on Sept. 3, 2024 ahead of a planned Oct. 7 launch.. Once deployed, the two cubesats will for the first time assess Dimorphos' internal structure, surface minerals as well as gravity, data that will help scientists correctly reproduce the asteroid's final structure in their computer models, Michel said at the conference.
If all goes to plan, the spacecraft will arrive at Dimorphos in late 2026 and inch closer to the asteroid's surface through repeated flybys until it ends up less than 0.6 miles away, Kuppers said at the conference.
