European Space Agency launches Hera mission to investigate asteroid ‘crash-scene’
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a €360m mission to perform a close-up “crash-scene” investigation of the 150 m-diameter asteroid Dimorphos, which was purposely hit by a NASA probe in 2022. Hera took off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral at 10:52 local time. The mission should reach the asteroid in December 2026.
