description Six Days of the Condor Overview

Asteroid 65803 Didymos is a binary near-Earth asteroid system discovered in 1996, consisting of a primary body roughly 780 meters in diameter and a smaller moonlet called Dimorphos approximately 160 meters across. The system was the target of NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission, which intentionally impacted Dimorphos on September 26, 2022, to demonstrate kinetic impactor technology for asteroid deflection. The European Space Agency's Hera mission, launched in 2024, will conduct detailed post-impact studies of the binary system.
