What Is DART MISSION?

DART is a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs). 

Launched from Earth in November 2021, the mission will deliberately crash a space probe into the minor-planet moon Dimorphos (On 26 September 2022) of the double asteroid Didymos... 

to assess the future potential of a spacecraft impact to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth through a transference of momentum. 

The asteroid poses no actual threat to Earth; it was merely selected for the test.

DART is a joint project between NASA and APL.
