The "NEO Hunter" mission would use Blue Origin's Blue Ring spacecraft to deflect space rocks. This plan builds on NASA's successful DART mission, which proved an asteroid's path could be altered.

NASA’s DART mission may have been even more successful than scientists first realized. According to the transcript, the ...
In 1998, Bruce Willis saved the world by blowing up an asteroid threat in “Armageddon.” In 2022, NASA did the real thing, crashing a spacecraft into asteroid Dimorphos to prove that we don’t have to ...
Bright streaks on a small asteroid moon looked, at first, like a camera problem. They were faint, fan-shaped, and easy to miss in the final images NASA’s DART spacecraft took before it slammed into ...
NASA's DART mission, which tested a planetary defense strategy, successfully changed the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022. The mission also unexpectedly altered the orbit of Dimorphos's larger ...

When NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in September 2022, the goal was straightforward. Test whether humanity could shove a space rock off course. The mission ...
New Delhi: NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission has achieved another milestone in planetary defence. Recent studies indicate that the deliberate impact the spacecraft had with the ...
If an asteroid ever needs to be diverted from a collision course with Earth, a future planetary defense mission may resemble a test NASA pulled off four years ago. In 2022, NASA's DART mission proved ...
