ESA Plans to Crash Probe Into Asteroid in Planetary Defence Breakthrough
The European Space Agency is planning to deliberately crash a probe into an asteroid in what could be a breakthrough for planetary defence. The mission aims to test whether a spacecraft impact can alter an asteroid's trajectory and protect Earth from potential strikes. The approach mirrors NASA's successful DART mission in 2022, which changed the orbit of a small asteroid.
