Status update of Hera, the European contribution to the first asteroid deflection mission (public)

Convener: Michael Küppers

Wed, 19 Sep, 12:45–13:45 / Room Mercury

The Asteroid Impact Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission consists of NASA's DART impactor, that will hit the moon of binary asteroid Didymos in 2022, and of ESA's Hera spacecraft that is foreseen to rendezvous Didymos in 2026 to observe the consequences of the DART impact. Hera is currently being studied in phase B1.
We will present an overview of the status of Hera, followed by a discussion session.
