Washington: SpaceX, a private company working in the field of NASA and space, is scheduled to launch a Spacecraft on Wednesday, November 24, 2021. It is about to hit the moon of an Asteroid circling space. The purpose of this whole process will be to know whether this will change the direction of the moon of the Asteroid or not. With the help of which success will be found to save the earth from asteroid attacks in future or not. NASA and SpaceX plan to launch this spacecraft on November 24. However, even if there is a problem, the space agencies still have time till February 2022.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is the first attempt to find out if such an attempt to change the direction of the Asteroid can be true. It will also determine whether a spacecraft can move in the direction of an Asteroid and hit it. 'If it works, it will be a big deal because it will prove that we have the technical ability to protect ourselves,' said Jay Tate, director of the National Near-Earth Objects Information Centre at Knighton in Wales, according to The Guardian.

What's DART Spacecraft: Where it has been learned that the 610 kg Dart spacecraft is going to depart from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at around 6.21 AM on Wednesday, 24 November, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Its goal is the Didimos system. It's a pair of Asteroids. So far the earth has not seen any harm from it. Among these asteroids is the 163-meter 'Moonlet' asteroid, also known as Dimorphos, which revolves around a larger 780-meter asteroid called Didymos. These asteroids sometimes pass very close to the Earth while circling the Sun. NASA and SpaceX plan to collide the spacecraft with Dimorphous. When the collision occurs, these asteroids will be 6.8 million miles away from Earth.
