Medicine & TechnologyNASA showed the first photo from DART as it captures the Didymos. This activity is in line with the agency's mission to target the asteroid using DART.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft has opened its "eye" and returned its first photographs from orbit just two weeks after launching from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
NASA and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is expected to launch DART aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to manage the direction of Didymos' moonlet, Dimorphos.
NASA is hoping to launch the DART mission as soon as possible. As a result, the space agency will hold a news conference on the probe's departure later this month.
