DART的倒数第二视图

This is the last complete image of the asteroid Dimorphos, as seen by our Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) two seconds before impact. The Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) imager aboard captured a 100-foot-wide patch of the asteroid.

The DART spacecraft streamed these images from its DRACO camera back to Earth in real time as it approached the asteroid. DART successfully impacted its target on Monday, Sept. 26, 2022, in the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration.

这是小行星Dimorphos的最后一张完整图像，由我们的双小行星重定向测试（DART）在撞击前两秒拍摄。航天器上的Didymos侦察和小行星光学导航相机（DRACO）成像仪拍摄了这个100英尺宽的小行星区域。

DART航天器在接近小行星时，将这些图像从DRACO相机实时传回地球。2022年9月26日，星期一，DART成功撞击目标，这是世界上第一次行星防御技术演示。
