NASA spacecraft to collide with asteroid on this date. How to watch it live?

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will conduct a defence test against any imaginable asteroid collision with Earth on September 26. The US space agency claims it to be the world’s first planetary defence test – Double Asteroid Redirection Test – and plans to livestream for the public on its media platforms. The DART mission is a key test that NASA will perform before any actual need to destroy risky asteroid appears. “The DART is the first-ever mission dedicated to investigating and demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection by changing an asteroid’s motion in space through kinetic impact,” NASA informed.
