#spacex #falcon9 #DART

Date : November 23, 2021
Launch Pad : SLC-4E
Location : Vandenberg Space Force Station, Florida, USA
Rocket : Falcon 9 Block 5
Booster : 1063-2 (182 Day Turnaround)

SpaceX will launch the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 Block 5, which will lift off from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E), at the Vandenberg Space Force Base, in California. DART is the first ever kinetic impactor, meaning the spacecraft will attempt to demonstrate the ability to deflect the asteroid Didymos B by colliding with it at a high speed (approximately 6.6 km/s).
