SpaceX, ESA launch Hera spacecraft to study impact of NASA's DART mission
SpaceX and the European Space Agency will launch a mission on Monday to an asteroid's moon. NASA tried to knock off its path in 2022 to see if it could be done.
ESA’s Hera mission has launched to asteroid binary...
Hera mission, which is traveling to asteroid Didymos and its moon Dimorphos as a follow-up to NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, beat weather odds and successfully launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
ESA’s Hera mission launched aboard SpaceX, to probe NASA knocked off asteroid Dimorphos
ESA has launched the first planetary defense Hera spacecraft aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 to investigate NASA-deflected Dimorphos asteroid.
SpaceX launches Hera asteroid mission, but delays Europa Clipper because of Hurricane Milton
SpaceX returned to flight with its Falcon 9 rocket on Monday, sending up the Hera probe for the European Space Agency on its way to a pair of asteroids, but SpaceX and NASA have called off plans to launch the Falcon Heavy later this week on NASA's Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter's moon because of the approaching Hurricane Milton.
Mission to asteroids: ESA Hera mission launches atop a SpaceX rocket from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX launches Europe’s Hera asteroid mission ahead of Hurricane Milton
The launch of another important mission, NASA's Europa Clipper, is on hold due to Hurricane Milton. Two years ago, a NASA spacecraft smashed into a small asteroid millions of miles from Earth to test a technique that could one day prove useful to deflect an object off a collision course with Earth.
ESA's Hera spacecraft set for asteroid 'crime scene investigation'
Europe's Hera probe is tentatively scheduled to launch Monday on a mission to inspect the damage a NASA spacecraft made when it smashed into an asteroid during the first test of Earth's planetary defenses.
ESA’s Hera Asteroid Mission Launches on SpaceX Rocket in Florida
In humanity’s latest bid to avoid going the way of the dinosaurs, a European spacecraft soared away from the coast of Florida on Monday. The mission, Hera, will visit an asteroid that NASA deliberately struck with another spacecraft two years ago.
