Smashing into an asteroid like a pool cue to an eight ball sounds like.
26, astronomers have been using telescopes on Earth to measure how much that time has changed. At first blush, the mission titled Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART might seem a bit silly (sorry, NASA). "To reach our goal of net zero aviation emissions by 2050, we need transformative aircraft concepts like the ones we're flying on the X-66A," associate administrator for NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate Bob Pearce said. Since DART’s intentional collision with Dimorphos on Sept. With its emphasis on emission reduction, the X-66A may just be one of the most important X-planes yet. The aircraft is the latest in a long line of X-planes created by NASA, dating back to the 1940s, and the space agency's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which founded an experimental aircraft program with the Air Force and the U.S. Nasa’s Dart space craft is getting closer to its date with destiny the refrigerator sized spacecraft will slam into the small asteroid Dimorphos at 7.14pm EDT Monday, not much more than an. In the case of the X-66A, the X-plane status recognizes the design's Transonic Truss-Braced Wing configuration that, in combination with advancements in propulsion systems, and materials, could lead to a reduction of 30% in fuel consumption and fewer emissions in comparison to current "best-in-class" aircraft. "With the learnings gained from design, construction, and flight testing, we'll have an opportunity to shape the future of flight and contribute to the decarbonization of aerospace." "We're incredibly proud of this designation because it means that the X-66A will be the next in a long line of experimental aircraft used to validate breakthrough designs that have transformed aviation," Boeing chief technology officer Todd Citron said.
