Nasa is about to set off to a distant, metal asteroid that could tell us how planets form. On Friday, the spacecraft – currently folded in the cargo bay of a SpaceX rocket – will leave from ...
Janus was a planned NASA mission that would have sent dual space probes to visit asteroids chosen prior to launch. [3] The mission was part of NASA's SIMPLEx program and was expected to be launched in 2022 as a secondary payload on Falcon Heavy together with the Psyche spacecraft, but it was removed due to delays with Psyche.

Launched on November 24 last year, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is due to plow into a rocky asteroid moonlet called Dimorphos on Monday in an attempt to alter its orbit around ...
It would have a baseline launch between 2036 and 2041. [1] The probe would launch on a direct hyperbolic trajectory to encounter Jupiter after six to seven months, after which the probe would travel at a speed of about 6–7 astronomical units (900,000,000–1.05 × 10 9 kilometres) per year, leaving the heliosphere after only 16 years.
