(FILES) This picture provided by NASA on October 11, 2022 shows asteroid moonlet Dimorphos as seen by the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft 11 seconds before impact. Europe's Hera probe is tentatively scheduled to launch on October 7, 2024 on a mission to inspect the damage a NASA spacecraft made when it smashed into an asteroid during humanity's first test of Earth's planetary defences. In a scene that sounds straight out of science fiction, the spacecraft deliberately crashed into the pyramid-sized asteroid Dimorphos roughly 11 million kilometres (6.8 million miles) from Earth in 2022.
