NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, a planetary defense mission, will lift off on November 23 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The spacecraft will deliberately crash into a small moon orbiting a near-Earth asteroid.
The DART mission, or NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, will lift off at 10:20 p.m. PT on November 23 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
