Radio Paradise

I remember explaining to a room full of suits what the internet was, but it wasnât sticking. So I asked âwhere are you from?â Tulsa. âOKâ¦here is the weather RIGHT NOW in Tulsa.â
No one got it except this guy in a brown suit in the middle of the room. His eyes got wide and I realized he understood what this meant for the future.

Same here. Yay that they hit a rock with a satellite. But the implications of 1) being able to identify the dangerous object 2) plot a course towards it that works 3) ram/destroy it so itâs not longer a threatâ¦the orbit/trajectory calculations required for that are mind-boggling - and then to launch the thing, have it find the bad guy, then ram it - and save humanity.

Holy cow.

Long story short

Fifteen days before impact, DARTâs CubeSat companion Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube), provided by the Italian Space Agency, deployed from the spacecraft to capture images of DARTâs impact and of the asteroidâs resulting cloud of ejected matter. In tandem with the images returned by DRACO, LICIACubeâs images are intended to provide a view of the collisionâs effects to help researchers better characterize the effectiveness of kinetic impact in deflecting an asteroid. Because LICIACube doesnât carry a large antenna, images will be downlinked to Earth one by one in the coming weeks.
