The results of Hera's flyby could ultimately tell us whether Deimos is a captured asteroid or made from debris from a giant ...
Firefly Aerospace’s successful moon lander has yielded a trove of data that scientists will pore over for years.
A space probe named Hera captured images of Mars' small Deimos moon while on a mission to examine an asteroid.
The Hera probe has swung around Mars, using the planet’s gravitational pull to fling itself toward its asteroid target.
The spacecraft, about the size of a small car, conducted a series of experiments. It drilled three feet into the lunar soil, took X-ray images of the magnetic bubble that surrounds and protects Earth ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) fires up three of the instruments on the Hera spacecraft and takes images of the smaller ...
For an hour, HERA flew as close as 5,600 kilometers from the Martian surface, at a speed of 33,480 kilometers an hour. It ...
This mission will collect data from Deimos as well as Mars’ other moon, Phobos, where it will eventually land and collect samples to bring back to Earth. The mission is anticipated for a 2026 ...
ESA's Hera spacecraft for planetary defense performs a flyby of Mars. The gravity of the red planet shifts the spacecraft's trajectory towards the Didymos binary asteroid system, shortening its trip ...
Mars has two moons, named Phobos and Deimos, but because Phobos is closer to Mars, it has been previously imaged by other spacecraft. "For Deimos, we don't have as many images as Phobos ...
