Travelling through the asteroid belt, the European Space Agency’s Hera spacecraft has taken its first images of asteroids. The spacecraft is heading toward asteroid 65803 Didymos and its companion Dimorphos, on a mission to study the results of an intentional collision between NASA’s DART spacecraft and Dimorphos. The new images validate Hera’s capabilities to lock its cameras onto a faint target to guide itself towards its destination.
