European Space Agency’s Hera mission set to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
The Falcon 9 is set to launch today in Florida at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This time it has the European Space Agency's Hera system on board. The mission aims to investigate Dimorphos, focusing on the effects of NASA’s "DART" impact on the asteroid. It will measure the size and depth of the crater created by it, to try to gain a better understanding of the asteroid's make-up.
