A new episode of ESA's animated series "The Incredible Adventures of the Hera mission" follows the Hera spacecraft and its two CubeSat companions as they arrive at the Didymos asteroid system after a two-year journey, ESA said. Hera is exploring Didymos, a double asteroid system that ESA describes as typical of the thousands that pose an impact risk to Earth.

The episode, intended for children and adults, explains what the spacecraft and its CubeSats will do at their destination. The CubeSats are named Milani, described as a rock decoder, and Juventas, described as a radar visionary. The episode also covers how the spacecraft and CubeSats will separate, allowing the CubeSats to begin close examination of the asteroid.

Dimorphos, the smaller body in the system, is described as the first Solar System object to have had its orbit shifted by human action. ESA credits the video to its Science Office and notes it includes third-party content that cannot be modified or reused in other productions without the agency's explicit authorisation.
