The ICCUB astronomer Josep Manel Carrasco appeared on the "La República Santboiana" program on October 26, 2022 to talk about the Artemis program to return to the Moon and about the DART mission, which has been able to successfully divert the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos around its larger asteroid companion Didymos, with the impact of the DART Spaceship.
