Hera ne Mars aur Deimos ki Photos Lee!
European Space Agency (ESA) ka Hera mission, jo planetary defence ke liye banaya gaya hai, ab full swing mein hai. Aur pehli baar, isne Earth aur Moon ke alawa kisi aur celestial body ki photos lee hain. Hera ne Mars aur uske chhote se moon, Deimos, ki kuch zabardast photos capture kari hain.
Hera Mission Kya Hai?
7 October 2024 ko launch kiya gaya, Hera mission ka main maqsad Dimorphos asteroid tak pahunchna hai. Yeh Dimorphos asteroid khaas hai kyunki NASA ke DART spacecraft ne 2022 mein isse takkar maar kar iski orbit badal di thi. Hera ka kaam hai yeh dekhna ki asteroid ki orbit change karna ek repeatable technique ban sakti hai ya nahi.
Mars se Gravity Assist
12 March ko, Hera Mars ke paas se guzra, kareeb 5000 km ki doori se. Mars ki gravity ne Hera ke trajectory ko thoda sa change kar diya, jisse woh Dimorphos aur Didymos asteroid ki taraf aasani se jaa sake. Isse Hera ka travel time bhi kam ho gaya aur fuel bhi bacha.
Deimos ki Amazing Photos
Hera ne Deimos ki photos kareeb 1000 km ki doori se lee. 12.4 km wide, yeh dust se bhara moon shayad Mars par hue kisi bade impact ka result hai ya phir ek captured asteroid. Didymos ka size 780 m hai aur Dimorphos sirf 151 m, jabki Deimos kaafi bada hai.
Aage Kya?
ESA ke Hera mission manager Ian Carnelli ne bataya ki 21 mahino mein, Hera apne target asteroids tak pahunchega aur investigation shuru karega. Woh is crash site ki jaanch karenge, jo ki Solar System mein eklauta object hai jiske orbit ko humans ne change kiya hai.
Hera Mission ki Highlights
* Planetary defence ke liye important mission
* Mars aur Deimos ki nayi photos
* Gravity assist se Hera ka safar aur aasan
* Dimorphos asteroid ki taraf badh raha hai
* 21 mahino mein investigation shuru hogi
Yeh mission humein asteroids ke bare mein aur bhi jaankari dega aur future mein Earth ko khatarnak asteroids se bachane mein madad karega.
