- Description
The liftoff of ESA’s Hera mission for planetary defence is only the start… Its launch will be followed by a two-year cruise to the Didymos binary asteroid system. Next will come a sequence of deep space manoeuvres, including a swingby of Mars to acquire extra velocity to aid the rendezvous with Didymos.
