The spacecraft will collide with a spacecraft called Timorphos and test how much its speed and trajectory can be changed. If a cosmic fragment with a diameter of a few meters collides with the Earth, it will cause continental catastrophe. Although this particular meteorite poses no threat to Earth, it is the first attempt to steer a meteorite with the aim of learning how to save the Earth.
