Introducing Juventas... š°ļø
A shoebox-sized spacecraft from our Hera mission thatās about to explore the binary asteroid system of Didymos and its moon, Dimorphos ā a space rock the size of the Great Pyramid!
Using its cutting-edge radar system, Juventas will reveal whether Dimorphos is a solid monolith or simply a loose pile of rubble. Plus, itās going to gently land and measure the asteroidās gravityāsomething never done before!
This tiny spacecraft is set to rewrite what we know about asteroids and could one day help protect our planet.
Stay tuned for more on Heraās thrilling mission!
