New observational data from NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) confirms that the 2022 kinetic impact fundamentally altered the physical structure and orbital path of the asteroid Dimorphos. The findings suggest that small 'rubble pile' asteroids are highly susceptible to kinetic deflection, providing a validated blueprint for future planetary defense.
