Called DRACO (short for Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical Navigation), the camera will transmit one image per second to Earth and will serve as the spacecraft's eyesight, guiding it toward the space rock.Or, you can watch live images transmitted from the single camera aboard the spacecraft here, starting at 5:30 Eastern time.That point of light will slowly get bigger until, of course, the camera dies with the spacecraft.If all goes perfectly to plan, the spacecraft will not only be smashed to smithereens, but the 500-foot space rock named Dimorphos will be knocked onto a different path.
