DART won't survive its mission to deflect an asteroid, but the recently deployed LICIACube—a tiny probe equipped with cameras—will document the encounter in gory detail.
DART will not survive the encounter, but its onboard camera, called DRACO (Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation), will provide a first-person perspective of the collision.
The Asteroid Movie That Was The Most Scientifically Accurate
Hollywood has a fascination with the overlap between the exploration of outer space and the destructive force of our natural environment. There have been a great many iterations of the quintessential movie about what would happen if an asteroid was going to hit the Earth .
However, not all asteroid movies make this trade-off entirely. In a BuzzFeed interview, Neil deGrasse Tyson suggests that "Deep Impact" "had really good science going there.
NASA’s first asteroid deterrent test is 2 weeks away
We are less than two weeks from the first ever Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, where NASA will test a new planetary defense system that involves slamming a satellite into an asteroid, opening a new era for the solar system.
While it won't be as dramatic as Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck's hit movie "Armageddon," DART will be a significant milestone for the space agency when it slams headfirst into a small asteroid on Sept. 26, destroying itself, NASA shared.
NASA to crash spacecraft into an asteroid

(CNN) - In about two weeks, NASA scientists will slam a refrigerator-sized spacecraft into an asteroid called "Dimorphos."
It's the first test of its kind and could be a crucial step in learning how effective a crash could be in protecting the Earth from potentially being hit by an asteroid.
The Shift - NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the world's first mission to test technology for defending Earth against potential asteroid or comet hazards, will impact its target asteroid, which poses no threat to Earth, on the evening of Monday, Sept. 26. Just over a week away.

Right now, Dimorphos, an asteroid moonlet slightly larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza, is quietly minding its own business 6.8 million miles from Earth, slowly orbiting its big brother, Didymos. Little does Dimorphos know, on September 26 at 4:14 p.m.
This is NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, the world's first attempt at asteroid deflection in the name of planetary defense. While Dimorphos does not and will not pose any threat to Earth, it is the ideal crash-test dummy for such an undertaking, said Dr.
