Earlier, CNN reported that the spacecraft carrying out NASA's "Double Asteroid Redirection Test" (DART) mission will hit the asteroid "Dimorphos" at 7:14 p.m. EDT on the 26th to try to change its orbit. If successful, this mission will make it possible for the "killer asteroid" to deviate from the Earth, So as not to pose a threat to the earth.
此前,美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)美国国家航空航天局报告执行(NASA)的“双小行星重定向测试”(DART)美国东部时间26日晚7:14,任务飞船将撞击小行星“迪莫弗斯”(Dimorphos),试图改变它的轨道,如果成功,这项任务将使它成功“杀手小行星”为了避免对地球构成威胁,有可能偏离地球。

19:14,美国东部时间9月26日,NASA执行“双小行星重定向测试”宇宙飞船成功撞击了小行星“迪莫弗斯”,使其偏离原来的运行轨道,并完成检查“杀手小行星”测试任务偏离地球。据报道,直径160米“迪莫弗斯”一颗780米宽的小行星“迪迪莫斯”(Didymos)运行,撞击前两颗小行星接近地球1100万公里。
"We are opening a new era for mankind, in which we may be able to protect ourselves from dangerous asteroid impacts and other injuries," said Graze, director of NASA's planetary science department Congressman Don Bayer, chairman of the US Space and Aviation Subcommittee, called the "Double Asteroid Redirection Test" mission a "historic success".
NASA行星科学系主任格莱兹说:“我们正在开启一个新的人类时代,在这个时代,我们可能撞击等伤害。”唐·拜尔将“双小行星重定向测试”任务称之为“历史上的成功”。
