The “kinetic impactor” technique involves striking asteroids with a spacecraft to change the trajectory of the extraterrestrial object, according to NASA.
Taking data from the successful test, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland published multiple scientific papers supporting the method as a potential guard against asteroid impacts, NASA announced in a news release earlier this month. “These findings add to our fundamental understanding of asteroids and build a foundation for how humanity can defend Earth from a potentially hazardous asteroid by altering its course,” Fox said in a written statement.
Digital images show where NASA's spacecraft struck the surface of Dimorphos as part of a test of an asteroid-deflection technique called "kinetic impactor."
