#HeraMission update: MMH tank temperature in preparation for DSM2 increased in preparation for DSM2 (deep-space manoeuvre 2). Both MMH and MON tanks have reached their target temperatures and the tank pressures are converging towards 17 bar. Ready to burn some propellant!!! 🚀

Long time since reporting on #HeraMission it navigated the ~ 22-day solar conjunction period without anomalies, executing all operations as pre-planned onboard. Hera also passed aphelion at a solar distance of 2.368 AU. All units remained within their operational temperature 🛰️

💥 Three years ago today, @NASA’s DART Mission successfully collided with the non-hazardous asteroid Dimorphos as a test for potential future planetary protection. This video shows the final moments before impact.
