#考研[超话]# NASA will use a spacecraft later this month to test a planetary-defense method that could one day save Earth. The Double Asteroid Redirect Test spacecraft, otherwise known as DART, will be used as a battering ram to crash into an asteroid not far from Earth on Sept. 26. The mission is an international collaboration to protect the globe from future asteroid impacts.
“While the asteroid poses no threat to Earth, this is the world’s first test of the kinetic impact technique, using a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid for planetary defense,” NASA said Thursday.
重点词汇：asteroid; spacecraft; crash; collaboration; impact; deflect.
