The Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission is a proposed space probe under development by the European Space Agency which would study the effects of crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid. The mission is intended to test whether a spacecraft could successfully deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The project was formed by joining two separate studies called ‘DART’ (an asteroid impact probe) and ‘AIM’ (an asteroid orbiter).
