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 the asteroids. This artist’s impression shows the Juventas CubeSat carrying out one of its main tasks – using radio waves to study the interior structure of the smaller asteroid, Dimorphos.
