Excerpt:
The European Space Agency (ESA) is going to gaze inside of an asteroid with radar for the first time.
The radar component of a small satellite, called a CubeSat, has been delivered to ESA for integration with a spacecraft being sent to study the asteroid Dimorphos. Dubbed Juventas, this CubeSat will be part of the agency's Hera mission, which aims to investigate the aftermath of Dimorphos' collision with NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft that took place in September of last year.
