NASA Press Release for next week.
The Asteroid Impact Deflection Assessment mission to deflect the orbit of the smaller body of the double Didymos asteroids between Earth and Mars through an impact by one spacecraft has failed.

Initial reports indicate that due to a programming error has resulted in the probe soft landing on the asteriod.
