The orbiting spacecraft, Sancho, of the proposed Don Quijote mission observes the effects of the impact of the second spacecraft, Hidalgo, on a small NEA. Don Quijote has been chosen by the ESA Near-Earth Object Mission Advisory Panel as a feasible and promising mission concept to test the viability of the kinetic impactor approach to NEA deflection.
