#PlanetaryDefense

We've just opened the virtual @NASASocial for our upcoming #DARTMission! Join us online for behind-the-scenes updates from NASA's first #PlanetaryDefense test mission before DART lifts off later this month: http://go.nasa.gov/3wGqZFO pic.twitter.com/wqim5s3nWN

We're crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid… on purpose! Our #DARTmission is a #PlanetaryDefense test to change the motion of an asteroid in space, so we could use this technique if an Earth-threatening asteroid were found.

We're crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid – on purpose! Launching from @SLDelta30 in California later this month, our #DARTMission is a first-of-its-kind #PlanetaryDefense test to change the motion of an asteroid.

The #DARTMission is ready to set sail for the binary asteroid system Didymos next week! Join the virtual @NASASocial event to get a behind-the-scenes look at our first #PlanetaryDefense mission: http://go.nasa.gov/3wGqZFO pic.twitter.com/1pwgwkUhp3

NASA's #DARTMission & @ESA's #HeraMission target #asteroid is about as big as #Rome's #Colosseum. DART will crash into the body in a 1st big test of #PlanetaryDefense then later Hera will assess its shifted orbit and measure the crater left by DART: https://www.esa.int/Safety_Security/Hera/Planetary_defenders_after_NASA_s_DART_comes_ESA_s_Hera …pic.twitter.com/of2u7AIErL

NASA’s first #PlanetaryDefense test mission, DART, is launching soon! @Astro_Kimbrough and @Thom_Astro are ready to show you exactly how the physics behind the mission’s collision works.pic.twitter.com/r04XZE5Qk8

The #DARTMission is slated to targeted to launch at 10:20pm PST on Nov. 23! Learn more about @AerojetRdyne's role in the first #PlanetaryDefense test mission. pic.twitter.com/VkFToURkwG

Join us today for a @Reddit Ask Me Anything about the #DARTMission – our #PlanetaryDefense test slated for launch this month. The AMA will include experts from @NASA, @JHUAPL, and @NASAJPL. Wednesday, Nov. 17 4pm ET (21:00 GMT) https://reddit.com/r/IAmA/ pic.twitter.com/8WjXQ4UEdw

SCaN's Deep Space Network is making an impact on asteroid data! The #DSN is enabling the world's first #PlanetaryDefense test with #DARTMission. The 70-meter DSN antennas provide information on the size, shape, and spin rate of asteroids. Explore a 70-meter antenna:pic.twitter.com/kuHE5UEcOe

The #DARTMission is about to make history, but it's only the first part of a larger #PlanetaryDefense partnership Next comes the #HeraMission. Find out morehttps://www.esa.int/Safety_Security/Hera/Planetary_defenders_after_NASA_s_DART_comes_ESA_s_Hera …pic.twitter.com/PWfvsqV0Ff

We asked a @NASA expert: Are we really crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid? We sure are — all in the name of #PlanetaryDefense. Get to know the #DARTMission: http://nasa.gov/dartmission pic.twitter.com/tQJWsjNDCV

Join the #DARTmission Virtual NASA Social! @NASA's first #PlanetaryDefense test mission is set to lift off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 10:20 p.m. PST, Nov. 23 (1:20 a.m. EST, Nov. 24). Get a closer look at the mission: http://go.nasa.gov/3wGqZFO pic.twitter.com/VYVCN1UOOP

The world’s first #planetarydefense test mission – the #DARTMission – is set to launch no earlier than 1:20am ET Nov. 24 (10:20pm PT Nov. 23) on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from @SLDelta30 in Calif.

The upcoming movie “Don’t Look Up” is a fictional story about a doomsday comet, but @NASA’s #DARTMission is a real spacecraft that will deflect a non-threatening asteroid as a test of #PlanetaryDefense. Hear from director Adam McKay as he compares the two. pic.twitter.com/HTn46HfYhS

Art imitates life imitates DART @netflix's "Don't Look Up" is fiction, but the #DARTMission is the real deal. @NASA really is going to crash into an asteroid moonlet! Director Adam McKay compares the movie to the IRL #planetarydefense test mission. https://dart.jhuapl.edu/ pic.twitter.com/k4LFZGfnLN
