DART Hits Its Target – NASAWatch In the Media

Keith’s note: I appeared with BBC Science correspondent Jonathan Amos on BBC World News (TV) to cover the impact of the DART spacecraft on its asteroid target. I was then interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live (radio). Update: I got on BBC World TV again. More information and audio links below.

According to NASA: “After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully impacted its asteroid target on Monday, the agency’s first attempt to move an asteroid in space. Mission control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, announced the successful impact at 7:14 p.m. EDT.”
