Creating a crater – THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF THE HERA MISSION

On the third installment of ‘The incredible adventures of the Hera mission’, we follow Hera the asteroid detective, Milani the rock decoder and Juventas the radar visionary on the journey to Didymos.

This time we will learn about the crater in thew Solar System and why it is important to study them, while we watch NASA’s DART spacecraft collide with an asteroid to create the Solar System’s newest – and perhaps most important – crater.
