Its target is the binary, near-Earth asteroid system Didymos, composed of the roughly 780-m- diameter Didymos and the smaller, approximately 160-m- size moonlet Dimorphos, which orbits Didymos. DART will impact Dimorphos to change its orbit within the binary system.November 24, 2021, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, the United States.
Because components of the spacecraft’s telescopic instrument are sensitive to movements as small as 5 millionths of a meter, even a tiny shift of something in the instrument could be very serious.
