The goal of the test is to prove that a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to a specific asteroid and purposely crash into it, disintegrating on impact and changing the object's speed and path. Scientists aim to measure that change using telescopes on Earth.
The mission doesn't quite mirror a sci-fi disaster movie like "Armageddon," since it aims to deflect the asteroid rather than destroy it completely.

Second asteroid could have also led to dinosaur extinction
Turns out, the dinos could have experienced a one-two punch that they couldn’t recover from. In the journal Science Advances , researchers report finding what appears to be the scar in the eastern Atlantic Ocean of a smaller impact that occurred around the same time.
For a long time, researchers have wondered what could have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Now, pretty much all evidence suggests that the big extinction event between the Cretaceous and Paleogene geological periods was caused by an extraterrestrial invasion of the asteroid kind.
Bad Astronomy | Meteorites from asteroid 2008 TC3 reveal how it broke up | SYFY WIRE
On Oct. 7, 2008, just after midnight UTC, an asteroid 4 meters across came screaming into Earth's atmosphere.
It started feeling pressure from the thin air around 100 kilometers above the ground.
The total energy released was equivalent to over a thousand tons of TNT exploding, much of that in the form of a debris cloud expanding away. It contained dust and rocks, the remains of the original 80 tons of material making up the asteroid.

Article.news, Tokyo – Scientists in Japan have discovered one of the near-Earth asteroids named Ryugu, which originated from outside the Solar System. The researchers made the discovery after analyzing samples of asteroid rock brought to Earth by the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft.
Asteroid discovery: Latter-day Saint teen discovers asteroid - Deseret News
It's an asteroid temporarily dubbed LPS0003. Because Peixoto is the space sleuth who spotted it, she'll soon have the privilege of naming the asteroid whatever she wants. Peixoto joined a volunteer program to study data provided by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration.
A physics student at Federal University of Minas Gerais, in Brazil, Peixoto has told the story before. Speaking in impressive self-taught English over Zoom and with a sing-song enthusiasm, Peixoto said with a smile what must be her favorite phrase — "I discovered an asteroid!

If the object is confirmed to be a satellite, that would make it one of the smallest moons ever spotted
The moon was spotted by the NASA team working on the Lucy mission, which sent a space probe to the edge of the star system to collect data on some of the Trojan asteroids, which are two large clusters of rocks located on each side of Jupiter in its orbit.
