28)This year (all going well!) the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission will launch (launch window opens November 24, 2021). It will intercept Didymos moonlet in late September 2022. Information on DART mission available at the following link: https://www.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/dart Let's now ASSUME that the DART mission is in consideration to be used in the "Hypothetical exercise" for 2021 PDC. i.e. Asteroid 2021 PDC was "discovered' as noted on April 19, 2021 and therefore the launch of the DART mission is pushed back to an earlier launch to intercept "2021 PDC' instead of the Didymos moonlet. As a member of the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) team for 2021 PDC you are tasked with evaluating whether the DART mission parameters can be used effectively for Asteroid 2021 PDC. From the list of asteroid collision avoidance strategies listed in Module 2.9 which one best describes the strategy being used in the DART mission? Is the DART mission designed to be used for ERSC 1P92 (Extreme Earth) - Assignment 1 - Enter answers in 'Test and Quizzes' Tool the size of Asteroid 2021 PDC (explain)? Would the DART mission reach Asteroid 2021 PDC on time (explain)? (assume for this question that it would take the same amount of time to reach Asteroid 2021 PDC as it would to reach the Didymos moonlet) (4 mks) Hint: Use the following link for additional information on other asteroid disruption strategies considered https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/pd/cs/pdc21/pdc21_day2_briefing2.pdf Note: Please answer in point form using the following format (i.e. copy and paste the following text and fill in your answers beside each sentence): Asteroid Collision strategy from Module 2.9 being used for DART mission: Would DART mission be possible for size of Asteroid 2021 PDC (Explain): Would DART mission reach Asteroid 2021 PDC in time (Explain):
