Another hot fire from a different camera angle. This one is cool! #volumeup! 🔥

Pulled all the high quality video from @nasa DART’s website to make this stabilized timelapse of the mission. Pretty incredible they pulled this off, and we’re able to get these images uploaded despite bandwidth limitations before the spacecraft met its doom. RIP #DARTMission

Last night, @NASA's #DARTMission intentionally smashed into an #asteroid in the world's first test of #AsteroidDeflection. No-one knew exactly what to expect - this has never been done before.

The preliminary preview images from @LICIACube show the extent and shape of the plume from the #DARTmission Sept. 26 impact on asteroid Didymos' moonlet Dimorphos

Meet Michele Chen, @JHUAPL engineer who helped develop the new autonomous navigation called SMART NAV. SMART NAV will help the #DARTMission locate its asteroid target to intentionally crash itself into it, changing the motion of the asteroid. Learn more: https://t.co/kmmNncxkKg

We have some good news! In the interest of giving submitters more time to acquire necessary approvals, and newer attendees the chance to submit their ideas, we are extending the abstract submission deadline to Friday, December 3, 2021 for the 2022 FSW Workshop!
