A Team has something to Prove!

Sept 26 (Reuters) – NASA’s DART spacecraft successfully slammed into a distant asteroid at hypersonic speed on Monday in the world’s first test of a planetary defense system, designed to prevent a potential doomsday meteorite collision with Earth.

Trying to Shift the position of asteroid (killer rock) sounds like a big deal and NASA”s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) program is aimed at achieving that goal. Melak (PhD), Senior Systems Engineer at NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center, is part of this exciting project. WE, as PAN family, are very proud of Melak and celebrate their achievement in the successful test of slamming the spacecraft into an asteroid in unprecedented way. Congratulations to you and the agency’s DART team!!!

PAN will not only celebrate the successes of its family members in various areas, but also will be looking at ways to create a medium for PAN members’ children to interact with them, ask questions, learn and be inspired.

“NASA works for the benefit of humanity, so for us it’s the ultimate fulfillment of our mission to do something like this – a technology demonstration that, who knows, some day could save our HOME’s.”

Thank you!!!
