Fondamentale per il successo della missione è il contributo fornito da LiciaCube, piccola sonda tutta italiana cui hanno lavorato anche i ricercatori del Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali del Politecnico di Milano, progettando la traiettoria di rilascio e il profilo di manovra per il corretto avvicinamento al corpo celeste per una adeguata ripresa della nuvola di frammenti senza mettere a rischio di impatto lo stesso piccolo satellite.

The #DARTMission has lift off; it will experimentally test the possibility of deviating the trajectory of an asteroid that poses a potential threat to the Earth, through controlled impact.
Fundamental to the success of this mission is the contribution made by tFundamental to the success of this mission is the contribution made by the small all-Italian probe LiciaCube. LiciaCube has seen contribution by the researchers from the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano; they were responsible for designing the ejection trajectory and manoeuvring profile that will ensure a correct approach to the celestial body and recording of the cloud of fragments without putting this small satellite at the risk of collision
