00:005, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignición, engines full power, and liftoff. Go Hera, go Falcon, go SpaceX.

00:16Vehicle is pitching downrange.

00:23There's a camera view as we switch. You can see Hera inside the two halves of the fairing.

00:28We'll come back down to Earth, guided by cold gas thrusters, and then parachutes or parafoils.

00:35Falcon is on a nominal trajectory.

00:37At 6.1 kilometers per second, NASA's DART spacecraft crashed into the Dimorphos asteroid.

00:45The impact shrunk the orbit of the great pyramid-sized Dimorphos around its parent asteroid, the mountain-sized Didybos.

00:55It also sent a plume of debris thousands of kilometers across space with ESA's Hera mission.

01:05But Hera is not going alone.

01:08It takes with it two briefcase-sized CubeSats to go in closer and take more risks than their parent spacecraft.

01:17And they'll end their duties by touching down on Dimorphos to gather extra data on its surface and gravity field.
