AIDA DART asteroid deflection test: Planetary defense and science objectives
A. F. Cheng,Andrew S. Rivkin,Patrick Michel,Justin A. Atchison,Olivier S. Barnouin,Lance A. M. Benner,Nancy L. Chabot,Carolyn M. Ernst,Eugene G. Fahnestock,Michael Kueppers,Petr Pravec,Emma S.G. Rainey,Derek C. Richardson,Angela Stickle,Cristina A. Thomas +14 more
TL;DR: The Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission is an international cooperation between NASA and ESA as discussed by the authors, which aims to demonstrate the kinetic impact technique on a potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid and to measure and characterize the deflection caused by the impact.
