Hera: ESA’s Probe to Study Asteroid Deflection

Exciting news! I’ve partnered with a professional video editor for my latest video on the space probe Hera. I hope you enjoy it with the improved production quality (hopefully, but not too hard considering I’m not an editor)!

ESA’s Hera mission, launching on the 7th of October 2024, will investigate the aftermath of NASA’s DART asteroid deflection test on Dimorphos. This video explores Hera’s objectives, including detailed crater imaging and internal structure mapping using CubeSats, and explains why asteroid deflection technology is crucial for planetary defense.

In this video, learn about the various asteroid deflection methods, the challenges of understanding asteroid structures, and how Hera’s findings could shape future space exploration and Earth protection strategies.
