Asteroid Redirection Test first trialed by NASA two years ago to try to change the trajectory of a harmless asteroid by crashing a spacecraft into it.
The European Space Agency is planning to send a spacecraft to rendezvous with the Dimorphos asteroid in the upcoming Hera mission.
The Hera mission aims to learn more about how the impact affected the asteroid.
ESA said it wants to “turn DART ’s grand-scale experiment into a well-understood and potentially repeatable planetary defense technique”.
