Hera

Hera — spacecraft, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore Hera in a 3D Solar System. Follow its published mission trajectory and inspect its distance and spacecraft facts.

ESA’s follow-up to DART will survey Dimorphos and the crater DART left behind, measuring exactly how well a spacecraft impact can nudge an asteroid. On the way it swung past Mars and its moon Deimos in 2025.

Launched

Explore Hera in 3D

Explore Hera along its published mission trajectory in the 3D Solar System. The model uses the available ephemeris interval; historical missions are not active spacecraft and extrapolations beyond an ephemeris interval are approximate.
