Summary[edit]

Description
English: "a, Dimorphos with an appropriately scaled and correctly oriented outline of the DART spacecraft centred on the impact site. Note the size of the spacecraft relative to the asteroid. The spacecraft bus was approximately 1.2 × 1.3 × 1.3 m, from which other structures extended, resulting in dimensions of approximately 1.8 × 1.9 × 2.6 m. The spacecraft also had two large solar arrays that were each 8.5 m long. b, A closer view of the DART impact site showing the outline of the spacecraft bus and solar arrays over the DRACO image. Note the positions of the two solar arrays relative to two large boulders, labelled 1 (6.5 m long) and 2 (6.1 m long). This subframe is from an image taken 2.781 s before impact. c, The spacecraft bus hit between boulders 1 and 2, whereas the solar arrays interacted with these boulders. This subframe is from an image taken 1.818 s before impact. The arrow in the bottom right of a indicates the direction of the Dimorphos +Z (north) axis. The solid white box in a shows the location of the image in b. The dashed white box in b shows the location of the image in c. Panels b and c show subimages of the full frame. Image names: dart_0401930039_14119_01_iof.fits (a), dart_0401930048_45552_01_iof.fits (b) and dart_0401930049_43695_01_iof.fits (c)."
