The art of AIM

ESA's Asteroid Impact Mission and the US Double Asteroid Redirection Test together make up AIDA - the Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA), a pioneering planetary defence test that will attempt to shift the orbit of an asteroid in 2022. Artist Didi Rodan performed a unique depiction of this initiative in sand, a highlight of a recent conference on AIM hosted by the GMV company in Madrid.
