Due to launch in 2024, Hera will travel to the Didymos pair of near-Earth asteroids to test planetary defence, find out more about asteroids, and demonstrate novel technologies. Hera will carry two CubeSats that will get up close and personal with Didymos and its partner, Dimorphos. This artist’s impression shows the Milani CubeSat carrying out one of its main tasks – studying asteroid dust particles.
