Fig. 3. Relationship between the spacecraft and topography at the DART impact site.

a–c, The position of the spacecraft immediately before the impact of the spacecraft bus from different perspectives to visualize the three-dimensional interactions between the spacecraft and surface. a, Dimorphos north is towards the top of the panel. b, Dimorphos north is to the right. c, Dimorphos north is roughly into the page. In all panels, the −Y solar array points to Dimorphos north. Length scales vary in these perspective views; the scale bars shown are approximate. Boulders 1 and 2 correspond to boulders 1 and 2 in Fig. 2. The caption to Fig. 2 gives the spacecraft dimensions.
